After you file
No one else can see your account or your tax return. We can only offer guesses as to why your refund was reduced by the IRS. The IRS may have found a mistake you made and corrected it---did you enter some income incorrectly or forget to enter some income? The IRS receives information from employers, clients, banks, financial institutions, etc. and if the information you entered does not match, they may have made an adjustment. TurboTax never knows if the information you entered was complete or correct; TT does not and cannot check against outside sources. Or....did you owe back taxes or child support?
It will take several weeks but the IRS will send you a letter that tells you what they changed; if you do not agree with the change the letter will tell you what to do next.
