Why did I only receive a direct deposit of $821.50 when my turbo tax return said that I would get a refund of $1,412.00?

You will receive a notice explaining the refund offset. The offset could have been from delinquent debt, such as past-due child support, outstanding student loans, or unpaid state income tax.  The notice will reflect the original refund amount, your offset amount, the agency receiving the payment, and the address and telephone number of the agency. https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894477-why-is-my-federal-refund-less-than-i-expected
