Could be many reasons. The IRS will mail you letter explaining. Did you have any amount on 1040 line 30 for the Recovery Rebate Credit? Then get the second Stimulus check after you filed? I’ve seen posts where the IRS reduced the refund like if you claimed the second $600/1200 but then got it after you filed. Or you didn't enter the right amounts you already got and tried to claim it again.

Or could it be for a state refund? Federal and state come at different times from different places.

I know I entered the right amounts I did not receive the second Stimulus yet or the third I'm hoping they are coming in the mail but if not my refund was $600 dollars less then what it should have been I'm hoping my second stimulus did not get lost in the mail either that or Turbo tax calculated wrong or missed something? if that is the case what do you do?
