After you file

I got my full state refund 1/31/25 but only received roughly half of my federal return. It's been 6 months since my estimated total tax return. I tried calling the IRS but it said it can't locate my account... I don't know what to do.

 

 Don't go by a total refund summary that TurboTax shows on a screen.  That figure includes both Federal and State refunds.   Instead, for your Federal amount go by what is shown on your actual Form 1040, Line 35a.

 

What product did you use?  Did you use Online TurboTax, and did you choose to pay any TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund?

If so, then addition to the product fees, there is a $40 service fee for that option ($45 for California filers.)

 

Who is your refund from?    Is it direct from the IRS/US Treasury, or was it sent from another company such as TPG/Tax Products Group, Cross River Bank, etc.?
