Hello, While filing my taxes, my refund amount is a certain amount. Once I get to the end and am ready to file, the refund amount declines drastically. Why?

I don't know your particular situation and we can't see any of your information.

  • The refund meter is inaccurate until all your tax information has been entered.
  • The refund meter is constantly updating as you enter information.
  • You can only rely on the refund amount AFTER you've entered all your tax information and are done with your tax return.
