In 2022, the company I worked for went public, gave me a ton of (taxed) assets, which made my income double on my W-2. (I didn't actually "make" this money and couldn't spend it, so the fact that I got a huge tax bill because of it was very annoying.)
However, on my tax returns this year, I was asked if I had made any tax payments in 2022. After I inputted that I in fact did pay the IRS $2,742 last year, TurboTax digitally and verbally insisted I would get a huge refund this year due to this fact.
My return was filed, and it got accepted by the IRS. But then it got delayed, and finally, I received WAY less than $3,675 (about $750).
I called the federal reserve hotline to confirm that there were no debts collected out from my check. There wasn't.
In addition, my
id.me account shows $3676 as the stated number on my return. However, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL about a deduction to my return, so TurboTax's helpers that I paid extra for say they cannot do anything.
TurboTax still proudly asserts that my Fed return was for $3,675, and when I called their phone number to talk to someone, the agent told me that their system says this was sent to me.
Can someone please help explain what is going on?
