There are many reasons that your refund could be less than what you expected, such as:
- You did not qualified for the full amount of the Child Tax Credit.
- You changed your Filing Status.
- You didn't qualify for the Earned Income credit.
- Your income increased in 2024 but you didn't adjust your W-4 form.
- Received Unemployment income or self employment income and didn't have any taxes withheld from that income.
Make sure all taxes withheld from your W-2 and 1099 forms are entered correctly. I also recommend that you do a line by line comparison with last year's return to see wat have changed.
