After you file

@2104 Sorry but the amount you earned is not enough information for us to answer you.  We cannot see your tax return, do not know your filing status, whether you have dependents, how much tax you had withheld from your paychecks, etc. etc. etc.

 

If this is drastically different from 2021, then compare your 2021 and 2022 returns side by side, line by line and see what is different.

 

And remember

There is no recovery rebate credit (stimulus $) for 2022.  The childcare credit is not refundable. The child tax credit is different.  And for some people, earned income is different because there is no “lookback” to an earlier year.  Those are some of the reasons your refund may be less.

 

And of course, always check your own data entries, looking for errors such as misplaced decimals or extra zeros.
