(Desktop/CD Version question): My return showed an amount due after entering all information. After choosing to file an extension and printing that form, it changed to $0 (none due, no refund). After running final review, it still shows nothing due and no refund.
When I look at the generated 1040, the original amount due shows under line 33, "Total other payments and refundable credits".
So, does this mean the program is assuming I've mailed in my payment, and has adjusted my amount due to reflect the payment? In other words, I still need to send in that amount?
If so, may I submit that this is a terrible feature in the program? I may need to refer back to the program, either this year or in some future year, and see what I paid or was refunded. Changing the displayed balance to zero is not helpful, and will only create confusion. I don't believe the program has ever done this in the past. It needs to be changed back, to reflect the amount paid or received, permanently.
