Nobody in this forum can see your tax return. Maybe you paid in too little. Maybe you made a data entry error.

Print your return and look at the entries. You should learn to be able to read your own return. You can request help though our Live service.

If your refund is lower than expected this year, you’re not alone. A lot of people experienced financial hardships in 2022 that could have an impact on their refund. But don’t worry, TurboTax looks for every possible deduction and credit to maximize your refund.

The situations below are some of the most common reasons why you might be getting less money than you expected. For example, did you:

Adjust your withholding to maximize your take home pay
Receive unemployment benefits, but didn’t have taxes withheld
Earn little or no income, and didn’t qualify for the Earned Income Credit (unfortunately, unemployment doesn't count as earned income)
Complete a W-4, which more closely matches your tax liability
Sell stock
Take an early withdrawal from your retirement account
Pay less tuition due to school closures, so you can’t deduct as much

To maximize your refund next year, invest, and/or pay taxes you might owe, consider some of these options:

Amend your W-4 to increase the amount of withholdings for a higher refund next year; or
Instead of withholding more, put that same amount into a savings account, an IRA, or other tax-sheltered vehicle
If you can’t pay taxes you owe for unemployment benefits in full, the IRS offers alternate payment options. If you’ve already filed, you can complete an Online Payment Agreement application or request a payment plan by phone at 800-829-1040
If your refund is wildly off, double check the amounts you input (a dollar amount mistype can have a big impact on your refund)

Here are some other possible reasons for a year-over-year refund decrease:
