Why did you not claim your 18 year old son? If you claimed him it would have given you the $500 credit for other dependents which would reduce your tax due. If you qualify for earned income credit, you did not get it if you did not claim your son. TurboTax has no information on why the IRS is holding your refund or why they might be changing it. You will have to wait for the IRS to finish processing your return and send you a letter.
