Lower federal refund

kaitlinparker282 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:34:57 GMT

Turbo tax told me I was getting a certain amount when I filed, its $2,000 less than what Turbo Tax said I was getting. Suppose to be "accurate" I paid over $100 to file using turbo tax this year and now im getting $2,000 less than what they said? NO it's not an offset, I already checked. Is turbo tax gonna give me a refund since they were no correct on the amount I am receiving?

Why did the IRS change the amount? Have you received a letter of explanation yet? They’ll send you a notice about why they changed your refund. TT has nothing to do with return after it’s filed with the IRS so it’s best to wait for letter or try to call IRS.

Only the IRS would be able to provide an explanation about why your return is lower than expected. For more information, please see the below help article.
