Question

Received incorrect refund from IRS

Turbo tax said I would get a refund of $1853. I paid my tax preparation fees up front. The refund I received was $1637. Does anyone know why that would be?

    Federal and State come separately.  The IRS will be mailing you a letter about the difference; they do not notify TT.

      I'm dealing with a similar situation, the IRS advised me on the where's my refund page that my EIC was incorrect by $300! Since Turbo tax calculated the information and I gave the correct information why am I getting less than what TurboTax still shows as being on its way to my bank account?
