Question

Where can I find the link that explains how Turbotax calculated the amount I owe?

I'd like to see a breakdown of how TurboTax calculated the amount I owe on my federal tax return (why it thinks I owe that amount). I've seen and used a link on one of the screens that lets me break down the amount, but I don't recall on which screen it appeared or how to get there. Can anyone point me to the right screen? Thanks!

So the screen I was referring to is the "explainwhy" screen. I found that one of the places it pops up is after entering or editing a W2 form. The other time it appears is somewhere during the "Federal Review" flow. I think in a previous version of TurboTax there may have been a persistent link to the "explainwhy" screen next to the amount due/refund amount at the top of all of the screens or on the left side.
