Yes. Sometimes refunds are lower than expected if you elect to have Turbo Tax fees deducted from your refund, or if you have an offset. You can see what you are being charged for. Click on Tax Tools from the Menu on the left side in your return. Click Tools then My Fees. This will show you what you are being charged for.

 

This article will provide information as to why your refund is less. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288510

One reason is the IRS changed the withholding tables so you got more in your checks during the year instead of a big refund.  And there are other tax changes.  And any dependents you have are a year older.  If you made more income that can reduce some credits you got like the EIC.
