In previous years it would update as I entered information, but this year I don't see anything.

Click on < or > and the refund monitor should re appear

Or do you see RACEMODE ? If so click on REVIEW to close the useless tool ...

I don't have any of those options. I see the "racemode" bar but NOT the icon/name 'racemode'. I can only see my running total refund/payment when I select "Review" at the bottom of the left navigation bar. This is horrible. My running total was key feature that I use to help me do my taxes. PLEASE bring the running total back to an obvious place on the all of the pages.

I can't find it and I am not happy. Will be looking at alternatives next year.

I couldn't agree more - losing this feature is maddening - and totally unprofessional and unacceptable. I am a 20 year+ customer ready to quit and throw my computer through the window - My kids are just starting and I will have all three of us switch to another service permanently. The support on this is pathetic as well - doing this and jacking up the cost substantially at the same time - not cool!

Why did they remove this????

Huge miss, I agree! Even at the beginning I use that feature to see if I did my withholding the way I intended. This needs to come back. The workaround posted (going all the way through Federal review) did work but was a pain and totally unnecessary.

Agree with all the comments here. This is a key feature that seems to have disappeared and I feel so strongly about it that not only will I not use this product next year, I will actively promote competitors to friends, family and whoever else will listen if they don't change this back.

Try this workaround. It has worked for some. If you have started to enter information such as a W-2, and don't see the meter go to the Federal Review section. Click on all the way through ignoring the prompts to fix things and the meter should turn back on.

Then return to the section needed to enter your other income or deductions/credits.

2025 still a problem as well, time to look at other options.

Here is a FAQ: Why don’t I see the tracker that shows my refund or taxes owed?

what an incredibly stupid move by Turbotax. Now I'm second guessing my decision to use them. If they are this out of touch....how can I trust they havent made similarly dumb mistakes in the software

1000%!!!! One of my favorite features and reasons I use TurboTax every year for nearly 2 decades is the running refund tracker as I'm working! It is just RIDICULOUS that this has been REMOVED with no option to turn it back on. If it's not brought back, I'll be looking to other options in the future. Yup...pretty furious over this one!

They've finally outdone removing the Quick Fill widget that was on Mac for Quicken back in the day.
