Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Why is it that this is free, I was supposed to get 4 hundred back. Now all of a sudden I'm only getting 150. How did that happen? Think I'm done filing with turbo tax!

Until you finish entering all your personal information,your income and your deductions, the numbers on the left will not show the final numbers. TurboTax will recalculate your refund every time you add more information to your tax return.

The refund will continue to change until you enter all your forms and information and complete the final review.

I didn't add anything else. I was all done. Said I was getting 4 hundred then later checked again and said 150.. So I'm a little mad

Is everything been entered correctly?  You can view the tax return to see what has been entered. 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools.
  • Click on Tools.
  • Under Other helpful links, click on View Tax Summary.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click on State Tax Summary to see the actual tax return that you prepared.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Preview My 1040 to see the actual tax return that you prepared.
