The IRS will be sending you a notice in the mail describing why the changed your tax return to that you now have taxes owed instead of a refund.

TurboTax receives no information from the IRS after you file your tax return, so no one at TT knows about the change to your refund or why the IRS changed it. The IRS will send you a letter that explains in more detail. It sounds like the IRS found a mistake you made.
