Accepted 1040 Missing Refund Info (Line 35a Blank) Despite Withholding — IRS Says I Owe

Hi, I e-filed my 2024 federal return through TurboTax, and it was marked accepted by the IRS on March 6. TurboTax originally showed I would get a $79 refund, but when I checked the final Form 1040 that was submitted:

  • Line 25a (W-2 Federal Withholding) is blank

  • Lines 34–36 (refund and applied credit) are also blank

  • When navigate to the support/chat section, the bot tell me that the IRS says I owe $11

However, my actual W-2 shows federal income tax withheld (Box 2 = $156), which I believe I entered correctly during filing.

Why didn’t TurboTax include that in the final return sent to the IRS?
Do I need to amend with Form 1040-X, or was this a TurboTax software issue?

Thanks in advance, this is very frustrating and confusing.
