State tax filing
Are you saying the IRS sent less refund than you were expecting, less than your 1040 line 35a? If they IRS or state adjusted your return they will send you a letter explaining it. Federal and state refunds come at different times from different places but at the end Turbo Tax shows you the net refund or tax due of federal and state combined. That is only for your own info. You should get the full refund refund from each one.
Or did you select to have the Turbo Tax fees deducted from your refund? There is an extra $40 (or 45 or 50) Refund Processing Service charge.
Otherwise if your 1040 tax return shows less on line 35a than you were expecting before you need to check each line to find what changed you don't agree with. Was there a penalty on line 38? You can even pay a penalty if you are getting a refund for not paying in evenly during the year. That is not the same penalty as filing late or owing too much.
