An even $2,000?  Sounds like you may have typed in an amount wrong like for withholding?

 

If your refund is less than expected you should get a letter explaining why. See this FAQ….

I would check over your return and see if you can see anything wrong especially in the payments section 1040 lines 17-18 and Schedule 3 lines 8-14.  Make sure you agree with all the amounts listed. Like is the difference the same or close to the refund you got last year? Maybe you put down that you applied last year's refund to this year? Or you put down you made a payment with an extension or paid an estimated payment that you didn't make?

 

A common error is showing an estimated payment (1040 Schedule 3 line 8.)  you didn't make or payment with an extension (line 10) you didn't send in. Sometimes people start an extension form on purpose or accidentally and an amount gets entered for a tax due to send in with the extension.

I’m sorry that I did it  wrong I’ve never done this before. My income for LYFT was$2;[social security number removed]-2020. I have no idea  how to do federal and state tax And I don’t have clue what the amount for federal and state taxes are. I tried my best but a lot of this I didn’t understand.

Income from Lyft is self-employment.  I will leave some links with instructions to enter your self-employment income and expenses.  You may be able to import the information so I will leave a link for that too.  

 

 

How do I report income from self-employment?

 

How do I import my tax information from Lyft?

Turbotax was off by 2000.00 and all I can get from turbotax is contact the IRS . Like I wouldn't do that.  No reason or accountability from Turbotax.  I STRONGLY recommend using another tax company.
