Refund

[Brooke2015]

Iam honestly confused , I never had an issue with turbo tax until this year. Iam missing a large amount of money in my refund. I emails TPG and they said they were working on this issue. Once I didn't get a reply back in 1 week I tried to email them again. No answer.  I Do not understand why they are even holding back the refund to begin with. I want answers and I want it fixed. If someone can please help me and point my in the right direction to get everything back I would greatly appreciate it.

TurboTax does not get any information from the IRS after you file your tax return, so no one at TT knows why your refund was less.

You have not mentioned any specific amounts.  Sometimes we can make an educated guess as to the reason for your reduced refund if you mention specific amounts--for example if your refund was short by $1400---it is likely to be a mix up regarding the 3rd EIP payment.   If it is short by $1800 or  $1500 or  a multiple of that amount  ---   maybe a mixup regarding the advance child tax credit payments.   Or---the fees you were supposed to pay for using TurboTax + the "refund processing fee" charged by the third party bank….

Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund?  (Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $39.99 or $44.99 in CA)

What is Refund Processing Service?

The IRS will send you a letter that explains why your refund was reduced.   Meanwhile it might help you to check your online IRS account.
