I entered almost all my information in TurboTax and had a refund coming. I then received a statement from another charitable organization. When I then entered this new donation amount, my refund lowered by one $200. How can this be?

    Are you sure the amount that went down was a refund  --- or was it tax due?  Take a closer look at your Form 1040.  Is there an amount on line 35a or an amount on line 37?

    What an idiot! Thanks, I thought it was a refund but it must have been a tax due!
