This is my first time using Turbotax, and I am seeing some strange things. eg As I add more vehicle expenses, the SMALLER my refund becomes. Is this a known error??

What is likely happening is you are receiving the Canada Worker's Benefit (CWB). There is a point where your income reaches that is like a "sweet spot" and you are receiving the maximum amount of this credit.

 

When you start adding more deductions to our Self Employed income, the CWB benefit is lowered and therefore you get a smaller refund.
