After you file

Something must have changed in your account to result in a lower refund. 

 

Potential explanations could be:

  • Some information was added to the return
  • An Amended Return was started
  • TurboTax updated as new forms become available from the Federal and State governments for the tax filing year. TurboTax updates as soon as they are available. If this is your case, and you want to check what forms are available, click on this link to find out what forms are available

Whether the return has been e-filed yet or not, it can be corrected.

If it was already e-filed, wait until you have received email notice from TurboTax that it was accepted. Then, go back into TurboTax and follow the steps in this article to Amend Your Return.

 

If it was not e-filed yet, go to Federal on the left navigation pane to re-do the interview. Be sure to have all your documents nearby to verify what was entered. 

 

If you still have questions and nothing seems out of place, we can still help you by taking a look at your return with you.
