My refund was deposited into my account by TPG Products. I was supposed to get a refund of $2,676 and all that came was $1,178. How to get the rest of my money? I checked by IRS account and there are no notices or money owed.

If the IRS adjusted your refund they will mail you a letter. Do you have an amount on line 28 or 30?

The 2 most common reasons this year is you entered the wrong amount on line 30 for the Recovery Rebate Credit (3rd Stimulus payment) or line 28 for the Child Tax Credit. Those lines are just if you didn't already get the full amount or qualify for more. The IRS knows what they already sent you.

A lot of people answered the questions wrong and tried to claim the credits again. Double check your bank statements and Check your IRS account (both accounts if married)

@hoomaliehealing- -f you rceived the 3rd stimulus payment for $1400, then Line 30 of Form 1040 should have been zero. I suspect it has $1400 on it and the IRS removed it as you already received the stmulus payment in early 2021.

is that what happened?
