After you file

You expected a $12,000 tax refund?  That is a pretty huge refund---maybe you made a mistake and the IRS caught it and reduced your refund.  The IRS will send you a letter explaining why your refund is less.  No one at TurboTax knows what they did--the IRS does not share any information with TurboTax after you file your return, nor does the state tell TT anything after you file.
