Get your taxes done using TurboTax

TurboTax has no way of knowing why your refund is less than on your filed return.  Did you print or save a copy of your return so you can review it?

 

If the IRS adjusted your refund from what you filed, they will send you a letter explaining why.

 

Possibly your dependents were not allowed or filed incorrectly.  Did you file an Amended Return to claim them after you filed your original return?  

 

If so, Amendments can take 12-16 weeks to process so you may receive your additional refund later.
