Why is my tax refund payment $12.13 more than my tax return completed and filed through TurboTax?

How do I find out why the amount paid out from IRS is more than what my tax return said. Not sure why but that makes me uneasy.

This has been happening to a lot of folks (including myself, who got $2.65 extra).  Perhaps the IRS is issuing interest?   I know they are doing this for delayed 2019 refunds, but maybe they forgot to turn this feature off when processing 2020 ones?

Ah! That could be and wouldn't surprise me (if that's the case, that someone didn't turn off that "feature").
