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

Disappointing that the dynamic refund monitor was eliminated this year. It was a very useful and educational tool that enabled me to model the impact of different tax strategies. Turbo Tax is much less appealing to me now. ☹️
