If my return said I would get 1500, and then after I completed filing that number went to 450, what should I do. I changed to filing jointly with my wife with no change.

So I was supposed to get 1500 back it said so on TurboTax, and then something changed after I filed and the number dropped to 476 in tax refund. It didn’t seem right and I thought it was because I put filing separately, so we filed jointly and the number stayed the same. Me adding her taxes should have at least changed the number some? I need help…

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, to contact the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason,

AND, to find your AGI next year.
