@lmmcgowan11 Are you referring to a refund offset. If the government made a correction to your tax return, resulting in a lower than anticipated refund, you'll get an official explanatory letter when this happens.
If you are referring to Max Benefits, please see this link that explains what this covers: What is MAX?
Please see the TurboTax FAQ below, for reasons your refund may have been less than expected: Why is my direct-deposited refund or check lower than the amount in TurboTax?
You can go to this link Topic No. 203 Reduced Refund there is a phone number you can call to see if there was a refund offset.
If this is putting you into financial hardship, please see this link:Taxpayer Advocate Service
