Tax Refund
I was expecting a tax refund, however my TurboTax Premier is saying it's $0 Hard to believe it would be zero. Any thoughts?

A $0 refund usually means your total tax payments exactly match your tax liability. That doesn't indicate that something's wrong. The most common causes are lower withholding credits being reduced or phased out, or your refund being applied to other taxes owed.
If your tax situation is very similar to a previous year when you did get a refund, there could be a data entry error. Review Form 1040 lines 25–35 in the Forms View, confirm your withholding, and see how the $0 result was calculated.
An additional option could be having an expert look over the tax return. You can view our expert assistance options here.
