Wrong returned amount from Turbo Tax

I filed my 2020 tax return with Turbo Tax and made the required payment 1,289.00. Then I received a notification from IRS that I owed additional $1,211.59. This issue occurred last year. How can there be such a big discrepancy with the Turbo Tax product?

What did the demand letter from the IRS say?

Could you have made a data entry error, or forgotten to claim some income?  Since the difference is exactly $2500, the IRS might have disallowed some credit, such as the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
