I saw the audit meter but now it is gone? Where can I find it ?

Hello, I'm doing my taxes with Turbotax Self-Employed online. While preparing things a couple of weeks ago, during the review phase, the audit risk meter was shown to me.

Now that I'm ready to file my taxes, after reviewing, checking things, I can't see the meter any more.

I'm reading that the audit risk meter isn't in the online version, but in my case I saw it at least two times a few days ago.

Could you help me understanding where I can see it? And if it is not supposed to be in the online version, then why did I see it ? Of course I'm super-confused by something that first is there, then it is gone.

Thanks a lot.

I was able to access the screen Your Audit Assessment is ready by following these steps.

 

  • In TurboTax Self-employed Online, select Federal / Wages & Income.
  • Select Edit / Add to the right of Self-employment income and expenses.
  • Select Edit to the right of your self-employment activity.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select I’m done.
  • Continue.

 

I have seen this feature in the Self-Employed version of TurboTax Online for several years.

Click < or > to get the refund monitor to appear.  You might also have to toggle off that “race mode” or click Review.

Hello, I tried to click on the refund details, which appear on the right, but no meter.

I tried to toggle race mode on off ..... I did again all the review. I get to ready to file without being able to see the audit risk meter.

A few days ago I could see it only going through the return review, it was just shown to me.

Could you explain in details where should I see it?

Thanks a lot.

Are you asking about the "refund monitor" that shows your tax due or refund?  Or that audit risk meter?  Audit risk was eliminated from online TurboTax several years ago and is now only featured with the CD/download.

Hello, as I wrote in the question, I'm talking about the audit risk meter.

I have read that it was removed years ago, but I'm asking because during my return review, only a few days ago, the audit risk meter was shown to me. Twice in two different moments.

 

It would be interesting to know why a feature that works in the online version (because I saw it) is being filtered, basing on what I read.

Someone in TurboTax development should explain to me why I saw it.

Thanks
