Why can I no longer see what my estimated refund is? The only way I can find it is to change info from my W2. Why did they change this?

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

Do you mean the refund meter up top?   You will see a summary of your refund amounts when you run a final review and you can preview your return at any time.    Preview Form 1040 in TurboTax Online.
