info transfer

[mvanengen]

• I imported 2018 data into 2019.  After the import and info verified it did a calculation and before I started entering any financial info for this year I started with a refund, the same refund I received for 2018, which I did not take, it was applied to 2019.  I have 2 computers so I tried another return and the exact same thing happened.  I hope this makes sense,  Any thoughts?

It will start out with a refund because you already paid that amount for 2019. as you enter financial info, it will adjust.

That sounds right.  You applied your 2018 refund as an estimated payment for 2019.  So before you enter any 2019 income you are getting it all back.  Don't look at the refund monitor until you are done entering all your income and deductions.  It changes with each entry.
