My refund was short as well. Come to find out, this was because my 3rd economic impact payment from March of 2021 was issued to my wife AND I. We had to go into the bank together to deposit the check since it was made out to both of us.
I went to IRS check my refund page and confirmed my payment, which was actually half of the total amount of the check. This made me think I was entitled to more $$$ cha-ching!
I'm sure if I had my wife check on the IRS page, we would see the other half, which I wasn't aware of at the time I filed my taxes.
I had to go to my bank statement from March 2021 to see the deposit amount, it was actually double what the IRS reported for my 3rd economic impact payment.
I hope this helps others, I was pretty bummed but glad to find out what the heck happened.
