My refund is short.

My refund is $1305 short. Is anyone else experiencing this? I’ve used turbo tax three times prior to this, and have never had an issue. What do I do?

On this public forum, we do not have detailed information about refund processing.

First, have you checked the IRS' Where's My Refund website? It may have information about a correction or an offset. For more details on why your refund could be less than expected, please see this Help Article.

I have checked where’s my refund and it was no help. I’ve noticed dozens of people have the same problem. They only received 1/3 of their refund like myself.

Add me to the list of people that got screwed by TurboTax on my refund. It was supposed to be $4392. I ended up getting back a $1592. I have absolutely no idea what is goin on here. I filled in everything correctly. Th IRS page says it could be either wrong SS# for dependents (which it is not) wrong name (which it is not) or one or more qualifying dependents exceeds age limit (which they do not).

What recourse do I have? What have others done to rectify this situation? Do Call the IRS, Intuit, who?
