Refund amount changed after filing

[adolfo-lozano]

Hi.  Any feedback will be much appreciated.

I e-filed on March 6 and IRS accepted my return with a specified refund amount.

Today, I opened TurboTax and as always did some updates to the program.  Once I opened it, the refud amount decreased by around $1,400.  I opened the forms and went line by line comparing to the PDF file from the e-file and noticed that the "depreciation deduction" was lowered on some of my rental properties.

Any idea as to why this happened?

If you saved a PDF of your return when you e-filed, you may be able to pinpoint the actual changes by comparing that copy to the current numbers. Your best option is to compare the Depreciation Report to see which assets had changes, then go to the Asset Worksheets for those assets to see what depreciation settings changed. 

Unfortunately, without a copy of the TurboTax forms as filed, it may be difficult to know what actually changed.

Thank you for your reply. 
That’s what I did. The question is, why did the depreciation deduction amounts change after I filed?  I filed my taxes first week of March.

Please clarify which version of TurboTax you are using: Online or Desktop? Windows or Mac? If Online, which browser? And please specify what updates were made when you opened TurboTax after you had e-filed.

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, to contact the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason,

AND, to find your AGI next year.

Hi.  Thank you in advance for replying to my question/issue.

The version of TurboTax I used is: Premier

I Used the Desktop version.

I used a Windows PC.

The update that was done after I efiled is the one on 3/13/2024.

There were more updates since then but the refund amount shown is still the same that was changed after I efiled.  The updates that have been done sinc then are: 3/21/2024, 3/28/2024 and 4/4/2024.  

I opened my TT file and it still shows the changed amount.
