Why would TurboTax suggest the issue is caused by a delinquent obligation, wouldnt the tax payer already know this and thus they wouldn't need to inquire why their refund was slashed by 50%?
Jesus Christ that's a stupid answer.
I used TurboTax and the actual refund was less by 50% than what TurboTax stated. TurboTax can put any refund amount on your return as they know the IRS is going to correct their mistake. Then as you can see it becomes a mystery explainable only by the IRS.
Dont use TurboTax.
You are replying to a year old post.
TurboTax does not know the reason - the answer above only suggested a possible reason. If the IRS reduces your refund then they will tell you why in a letter in 2-5 weeks (they are way behind and running slow this year because of COVID)
