Is there really no way to use the Refund Meter anymore? If not, this is a horrible idea to not have it available, hope this is not the case.

MISSING REFUND MONITOR

Sorry—-the “running” refund monitor that used to change as you entered data is gone. You have to get all of your income, etc. entered into the software in order to see the results.

The other place for you to look for your federal refund or federal tax due is on your Form 1040

Federal refund will be on line 35a

Federal tax due (that needs to be paid by April 15) will be on line 37

PREVIEW 1040

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

Whatever knucklehead came up with this idea should be fired. I miss the refund meter so much. I was happy to see it go up and down whenever I entered info which gave me peace of mind that it is working well. Now I am not so sure anymore. It leaves me guessing if I entered the info correctly. This is the stupidest idea.
