Running refund/owe Information for 2025?

[gigabot]

Completely unacceptable - if the meter is gone so might I!

[gigabot]

The problem with your rationale is that you have no idea whether there is an error or not when you get the figure at the end. If I add income I should expect the refund to go down...deduction it goes up...if it does the opposite of what I think I think I have somehow done something wrong and oftern have. I think the reasoning for this is that it makes people change their deductions to get to zero. Well, that is freedom for you!

Make all the corrections means do the whole f'n thing!  No thanks

Here is a real life situation-  I just jumped through the hoops of review and got the number to show. Here is why I like the meter. It shows I own $1100 which is ok because I haven't really done my taxes yet 🙂 just faked it to get the stupid meter to show back up. Ok....the other day it asked me if my daughter made over $5050 gross.  I didn't know the answer so I put NO-  ok. she just stopped by the house as she is at college. Turns out she made just over that amount. OK...so I change the question from NO to YES and POW! my taxes due went up $400. Alarms now going off - f that. What has happened-  I need to fix something now...or at least ban her from making more than $5050 as I can give her the extra money so I don't get dinged more than she actually made.  I can make any of those decisions if I wait until the end and see that I owe $1500!

Yep. Jumped ship (TurboTax) after years and went back to HR Block just because of this. The running amount helps me identify if entries are entered correct. Especially when businesses provide documents that don't contain fields that align with the form. I can also see how a form entry effects the return regardless if positive or negative. Whoever made that decision within the business should be fired. I love Turbo Tax but this was a huge dealbreaker for this year.

Shouldn't have to jump through hoops to gain a common feature back. Taxes suck anyway and quickly adds to the frustration. Bad decision that will cause sales to drop like a rock.

We at Intuit TurboTax want our users to be completely delighted with their experience using our products and services, and successful in their financial lives and businesses. 

Once you file your return, as long as the settings to receive communication from Intuit don’t block it, you will see a pop-up message or receive an email with a survey asking you about your experience. We encourage you to leave your notes and comments there. “Voice of the Customer” notes and comments are read and acted upon.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can also leave feedback at the Final Steps tab:

Does H&R Block have this feature? Is their software comparable to Turbo Tax? If so, I am moving over. 

Turbo Tax was an idiot to change this feature. Some product guy did not do his homework!!! What was the point in removing it??? 

[gwong43]

This is an absolutely essential feature....I would say #1 feature.   Who is the genius product manager that decided to remove it???   I am flying blind without this.   Very, very upset and unhappy!!

This is my tax, let me decide how to use the tool...why do you dictate to me that I  have complete the form first?

You do not have to complete your return, but you need to put in some income and deductions, then run review.  You can put some data in and then finish after you run Review and get the tracker back.

@taxlady28 What are you talking about? After spending 30 minutes putting in BS numbers to get the tracker back, I see it after the review, but it goes away as soon as I try to go correct any of the numbers.

Then clicking on Tax Home again I get this:

There should be settings to enable or disable the running tax numbers.  If most people want it, they can enable it, and for those that don't, they can disable it.  By simply removing this feature altogether, Turbo Tax is taking away a great piece of functionality.   Please pass on this feedback from many users who want this feature back to your product team and get it in the system ASAP

That is not the feature we want. TurboTax had the feature we wanted already and it was removed. Like so many others here, this will be the first time in 20 years I won't be an intuit customer. This single reason. Bye!

Actually, I was able to see the running totals of federal and state refund, using Turbo tax online.   When I drilled down to the detailed steps and navigated to a section in between (by selecting all topics), the refund counter came up!  And it stayed.
