Tax Refund for 2018

So, I filed my taxes with TurboTax and was expected to receive a little over 4K, I noticed the direct deposit that I set up was drastically short. I go to look on the IRS website and it says the my refund amount is only 1K. Is there any reason at all that I am receiving a much smaller amount than what I was shown?

Did you owe taxes from a previous year? How about student loans? Had you defaulted on those? Child support? I believe these are all reasons your return could be reduced.

To my knowledge I don’t have any delinquent debts.

I’m not sure then... that seems weird. You may have to call them. That’s like 2 hours on hold tho! Not fun!
