On the turbotax app + on the IRS website it told me how much my federal refund was and then when I got my refund from TPG the amount didn’t match. I was Told I was Getting $1618 from federal and only got $56 that is way more than the turbo tax fee I agreed to. Where is the rest of my money? IRS said there was no issue and they sent it… so where is it?

Topic No. 203 Reduced Refund | Internal Revenue Service

Why is my direct-deposited refund or check lower than the amount in TurboTax?

Why is My Tax Refund Not What I Expected

 

The third Economic Impact Payment of $1400 per person was sent out in March of 2021. The IRS may be saying you got it and are asking for it again on you return.

That would make sense if I got the third payment and I never did. I even called the IRS and I do not have any offsets

If you have an amount on line 30 for the Recovery Rebate Credit (the 3rd Stimulus) and the IRS took it off they think they sent it to you.   Maybe it went to an account you don't remember. Or you got a check or a card. It was probably easy to miss the debit card in the mail and think it was junk mail. They have to put a trace on it.

 

Double check your bank accounts and check both your IRS accounts if married to see when and how much the IRS sent you.
