Is the $749 you mention your expected Federal refund, or is it the sum of both a Federal and State refund?  Don't add them together.

Was the $400 you received for your Federal refund, or was it a state refund?  Who was it from?  If you have both refunds, they come separately from different places at separate times.

Your expected Federal refund amount (prior to any fees taken out) is on your Form 1040, Line 35a.

 

If you chose to pay your TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund, then the only thing TurboTax would take out are the product fees, possible sales tax where applicable, and a service fee of $40 for that payment option ($45 for California filers.)     If you paid your fees that way, your deposit would have come from a third-party bank that handles that payment service.   The company that handles that is Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (SBTPG).

 

If the IRS reduced your Federal refund, they should send you a letter explaining why in about 3 weeks or so.
