TurboTax says my federal return is 2700, they only deposited 1100 with no explanation. Why?

I only received about 1100 in a deposit when TurboTax said I'm expecting 2700 for federal. Is it normal for TurboTax to split up federal return deposits? It's been a few days since this one posted to my account.

Why is my direct-deposited refund or check lower than the amount in TurboTax?

Why is My Tax Refund Not What I Expected

The third Economic Impact Payment of $1400 per person was sent out in March of 2021. The IRS may be saying you got it and are asking for it again on you return.

I found some notes on the IRS website about why my return was reduced that said my AGI was more than $75,000 (and that I listed my dependent info incorrectly when I had no dependents to even list, and indicated this). That's impossible and I did not indicate such on my return. I asked around and this specific issue is extremely common; people making less than 75k being cited as doing so for the reason of their reduced return. Something fishy is going on.
