It's still there in the upper left part of your screen. Select the arrow by 'Explain my taxes' to view.

It is showing that you are in the Online version of TurboTax.

 

The screen dose toggle back and forth to show the tax meter.

As @sharonspringsipscom stated, it is on the top left side

 

            

 

    

 

Please contact us again with any additional questions or to provide some additional details.

When you first login, and you are at the Tax Home it does not show.

 

 

Once you are in the return, entering information, or in the review section of the return, then the top information starts to show.  

 

 

Let us know if you continue having difficulties with this.

The running total of your refund or tax due doesn't show up until you enter all of your income and do the Federal Review. 

 

If you want to see the monitor, after you enter your first income document, you can skip to Federal Review.  Once you do the review and return to your income, you will see a running total.

How is the average user supposed to know that? 

Can we please ask Intuit to go back to the original format, where it always shows the progress of what you owe or refunded?

I did as you suggested. Entered a couple of income documents. Went through the review and stopped short of entering payment info.  The progress amount due/refunded is still not showing.

This is nuts and I hope turbotax fixes it for next year so that it always shows at top, from your very first income entry.
