Why isn't the running total of my tax due showing anymore?

[Critter-3]

Seems like that function is being glitchy right now ... you can always look at the actual return instead ...  

You can peek at only  the Federal form 1040 and the summary of the state info by going here:

1) lower- Left side of the screen...click to the left side of the "Tax Tools" text selection.
2)  then select "Tools"
3) then select "View Tax Summary" from the pop-up
4) then back to the left-side and "Preview 1040"

Then hit the "Back" on the left side to get back to your tax entries.

To view your entire return using the online editions (including the state) before you file, you will need to pay for your online account.

To pay the TurboTax online account fees by credit card, without completing the 2021 return at this time, click on Tax Tools >>> Tools  and then Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  On the next page, to pay by credit card, click Continue.  On the next screen it will ask if you want Audit Defense, if you do not want this option just click on the Continue button.  The next screen will ask for all your credit card information so you can pay for the account.

There have been several users that have had this issue.  The moderators are looking into the problem.  As already suggested, look at your actual Form 1040 for your refund on line 35a or your tax due on line 37.

Is there a greater-than symbol (>) at the top left where the tax due should be? Does the tax due appear if you click the greater-than symbol?

[heatherkafka]

Thank you SO MUCH for this!

Really appreciate you taking the time to reply and give me so much detail.

Thanks again.

[heatherkafka]

Thank you so much!

There's nothing up there.

Seems odd. 

Might be like others have suggested and Turbo Tax is having a glitchy issue.

[Critter-3]

It is working on the FREE test account I have but not on the Self employed account ... definately a program glitch.  It is really a useless tool since the amount continues to fluctuate  and inaccurate until you are completely done with the return at which time you should be verifying your information on the tax forms themselves to confirm that Refund=O=Meter is even correct. 

[heatherkafka]

True. True.

Though I am NEVER getting a refund so it helps encourage me to KEEP GOING looking for those deductions.

Or gives me overwhelming anxiety at how the total is going nowhere.

this needs to be fixed  and show this running estimate at the top.   instead we get this   worthless race mode at the TOP    how dumb

I might be a little late on this now, but it just happened to me and I thought I'd share that it automatically fixed itself when I clicked on "federal review" tab.  If that doesn't work, try clicking the "state review" tab.  Good luck.
