Shorted Federal refund

As I'm sure you have noticed, there have been a numerous amount of people claiming that they were shorted for their 2021 taxes. I too am one of them, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this. And while it might seem belated, despite having until June 3rd I would still like to receive some answers on my return. I am still going to get through to make an appointment with my local IRS office, but that is a full time job on its own.

 

Anyways, as you might be able to see (if you have the ability to access my tax return) my expected refund amount was said to be $10,853 but was adjusted down to $8,053 which makes a difference of $2800

 

The interesting thing, is that while my adjusted refund amount is the lower of the two, I was only given (via direct deposit) $7,906 which is a difference of $147 

 

At this point, I cant remember if I had stated I would like to have the cost to file taken out of my state or federal (or if that's even an option) but I'm more so curious about the $2800 and how that large of an amount was removed from my total federal refund. 

 

Via the IRS.gov website, under 'refund status results' it states that changes were made and when I could expect my refund to be deposited, but the amount reflected on the IRS.gov website isn't even the amount I had been truly given. On March 29th I had received a deposit of $7,906 which again isn't even what was said to have hit my ban account. It also shows that I should have received a letter in the mail on March 21st which I did not receive. 

 

On form 1040: line 28, I have an amount of $3600 and on line 30 I have an amount of $4200

 

I have listed the above amounts as those are what I noticed had been asked for from other members whom have posted on this board.

 

Any info would be helpful. I would be glad to pay someone to help me find my missing money that was said to have been given via TT

 

I have used TT for years and have never had an issue but now it seems like there is an issue with skimming from not only me but many others as well.

 

Please help.

 

Thank you
