We cannot see your tax return. You said your friends have had reduced refunds. You have not indicated that the IRS refund site is showing a reduced amount for you----just that you are worried about it----does the IRS refund site say your refund is being reduced? TurboTax receives no information at all from the IRS after you file your return. Only the IRS is in control. IF they reduce a refund, they send a letter to you. Sorry---but all you can do is wait for the IRS to process your return and send your refund. Lots of people are experiencing frustrating delays in receiving refunds this year.
