The IrS is the only solution.  TurboTax does not process returns for refunds.  There has been a lot of issues with refunds being different this year due to Stimulus payments.  You will have an opportunity to address the issue once you receive a Notice of Adjustment from the IRS.  Calling very early in the morning is your bet option.

 

The IRS reviews the information you entered in your return and compares it with what they have in their database. If there are any discrepancies, they make adjustments accordingly and send your reduced refund.

 

Some common errors found are incorrect advance Child Tax Credit or stimulus payments amounts, which can cause significant reductions in your expected refund.

 

The IRS will send you a letter explaining the adjustment, but it usually takes about three weeks to arrive. If you got your refund already, check the IRS Where’s my refund? site to see what they adjusted and how it impacted your refund. It may take several days for the site to be updated.
