Tool Bar is Not Showing the Amount Due

The Premium Edition is not showing the amount due or your progress when doing my taxes.  I have entered all my income and expenses.  What is the problem TurboTax?  This is not a free edition and I'm paying a fee for this service.

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

Instead of a refund meter at the top of your screen, you’ll see your refund or taxes due in the Federal Review section of TurboTax Online.  For accuracy and simplicity, we show these totals after you enter your income, deductions, and credits instead of a running refund tracker at each step of the filing process.
