What lines on your tax return? You don't get all your payments back. Payments, withholding and credits are subtracted from the total tax on your income giving you a refund or more tax due.

When I filed the first time, the return said the amt refunded should be $2656 and I filed it. then it had been a few weeks so I decided to check on it because my son in law , who filed a week later, got his back. so then I checked it again and the turbo tax changed the refund amt to $3469. why and how do I get the IRS to chang to the new refund amt? line 34 and line 35a.
