If
your refund is significantly different......the IRS may have held part of your
refund.
The
IRS does not report back to TurboTax as to why refunds are held, you may want to call the IRS for a live
person, log onto IRS.GOV and request a telephone number in the
"search" bar for a live person and ask , at times they may send you a
letter or e-mail. 1-800-829-1040

Your refund may be different
or held if:
- You
used our Refund Processing
Services to pay for your TurboTax fees.
- Your
refund was reduced by the government to correct a calculation error or
through a refund offset.
- All or part of a taxpayers refund may have been used
(offset) to pay off past-due federal tax, state income tax, state
unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support, or other
federal nontax debts, such as student loans. Taxpayers may also see a
change in their refund amount because the IRS made a change to their tax
return.
- Taxpayers
will receive a notice explaining the refund offset. The notice will
reflect the original refund amount, your offset amount, the agency
receiving the payment, and the address and telephone number of the
agency. The IRS Where’s My
Refund? will also reflect the reasons for the
refund offset when it relates to a change in your tax return.
