I only received $44.00 from my tax return. I was supposed to receive $5062.00. Why haven't I received the whole amount.

Could the missing amount be for a state refund?  Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end.  That was for federal and state combined.

Federal or state? They come at different times.
And $5000 is a large refund for someone who is using TT Free.

If the IRS reduced the amount of refund shown on the federal tax return to the smaller amount, then you should receive a letter from the IRS within a few weeks explaining the reason for the change and what steps you can take if you disagree.
