Question

This is about that section of the TT app covering the stimulus package. When I put amounts into the two fields that total amount is deducted from my refund. Why?

If I put 2400 and 1200 in the fields then 3600 gets deducted or 20 and 20 then 40 gets deducted, if I put 0 and 0 then nothing gets deducted. The true number needs to be inputted which is 2400 and 1200 on a joint fileing.

You might have become confused by the flow of information in the software. That "refund monitor" on your screen displays a "refund" amount that includes the stimulus money. as part of your 2020 refund. But later when you enter the amount of stimulus you really received already, it removes the stimulus already given to you. And it looks to you like you "lost" your refund, But ---you do not get the same stimulus money twice--that is why it came out,
