Hello,
Will Turbo-tax have the running total refund/owe Information for 2025 as I input income and deductions? It was in the top left corner. I ask because if it does not have it I will be switching to a new product. I do not want to wait until I have entered everything to see my refund/owe status. That feature was extremely helpful and I can't understand why you would remove it. I was very disappointed to see that it was removed when I completed my 2023 taxes last year.

MISSING REFUND MONITOR
Sorry—-the “running” refund monitor that used to change as you entered data is gone. You have to get all of your income, etc. entered into the software in order to see the results.
The other place for you to look for your federal refund or federal tax due is on your Form 1040
Federal refund will be on line 35a
Federal tax due (that needs to be paid by April 15) will be on line 37
PREVIEW 1040

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
I'm ready to leave TurboTax because they took away this feature. Anyone recommend H&R Block or another provider?
I've used TurboTax for over 20 years and often referred to the user experience as a great model other systems can follow for simplifying a complex process. One of the features users love is the Running refund/owe information. I'm guessing someone in your legal department may have taken over the User Experience. I have all of my data entered and still can't figure out how much I owe, what a horrible user experience!!
Sorry to say I'll be moving on after over 20 years of using first your PC version and then your online version.
While some of the long term customers understood how to use it, it was a source of confusion to many others. They saw a big refund, then got upset as the continued to enter data and that number went down. They did not understand and called for help. Now you do not see that tracker until you enter your income, expenses, and credits. Then you review and correct errors and the tracker appears again. Once it is there you can continue to model if you want.
Will be looking for new software if this is not brought back. Hugely disappointing.
agree! This is ridiculous and not a feature that should have been removed! I paid he $49 and now will get a refund and will look for other tax service that offers.
