If you had a credit on your tax return like the Earned Income Credit, as XmasBaby0 mentions above, or the Child Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit, the processing time is a little longer.   The delay is due to the PATH Act or Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes, and it requires the IRS to hold refunds for returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until at least February 15.   If you used the pay with refund service, your refund will go to that bank first to process and then it will go to your bank for processing the deposit, which will add some time for your refund to appear. You can use this IRS tool Where's My Refund? to check on the status of your refund. It provides updates regarding the processing of your tax return.    You can also call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday. Make sure to have a copy of your tax return available.   These things can delay a refund: Your tax return has errors, is incomplete or is affected by identity theft or fraud. Your tax return needs a correction to the child tax credit or recovery rebate credit amount. Your tax return has a claim filed for an earned income tax credit, additional child tax credit, or includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation PDF. Your bank may take longer to post your refund to your bank account.   The IRS will contact taxpayers by mail if it needs more information to process their return.     Click here for "Why Is My Tax Refund Delayed? 7 Common Reasons"   Click here for "How to Track an Income Tax Refund"   Click here for   Why it may take longer than 21 days for some taxpayers to receive their federal refund   Please return To Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

Wow. Bummer. Now I have no idea what's wrong with the form. Well, we'll see if the March 6 update changes anything. Regardless, based on the numerous problems I had each of the 3 times I contacted a TurboTax "expert," I'll be giving my money to H&R Block in the future. I would try to file a claim under the Accuracy Guarantee but the submission rules require that you have to incur a penalty from the IRS before you can file a claim, which, of course, would never happen in the case of a tax credit the software doesn't allow you to claim.  I have neither the time nor the patience to try to get TurboTax to allow me to file a the claim that this situation necessitates.

Sounds like the state has found a mistake on your state return and has changed your refund.   Only the state can explain.  They will send you a letter to tell you what was done.  TurboTax gets no information from the state after you file your tax return, so no one at TT knows what the state changed.

You can try deleting the officer wages reported in the Deductions section, under Compensation and Benefits. Then, go to the QBI section as you mention and see if there are no entries for Wages in the Amount and Adjustment columns. If that works, then look at the K-1 and see if it is OK. Then, look at your list of forms and see if there is a red exclamation point next to any entries. If there is, pull up that form or schedule to see what needs adjusting. At this point in time, all of your errors should be gone.   Then, go back in and enter the wages again, and look for any error message. That may allow you to reverse what created the problem, allowing you to go back in and try the entries again.
