TPG: Tax Return Thieves

BekiBubs — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 04:52:56 GMT

What is happening here? My tax return was short by $1,539. I've seen that many people are having the same issue, but I can't find an ANSWER. WHAT IS HAPPENING? My only guess is that the IRS corrected my return (because I had my bf do it and he didn't realize I got the advanced child tax credit and included it) and then TPG corrected it again....??? I was counting on that money.... many many people, it seems, are being robbed. What. Is. Happening!?

if your refund was short by $1400 per person---it is likely to be a mix up regarding the 3rd EIP payment. If it is short by $1800 or $1500 or a multiple of that amount --- maybe a mixup regarding the advance child tax credit payments.

Or---the fees you were supposed to pay for using TurboTax + the "refund processing fee" charged by the third party bank….

Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund? (Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $39.99 or $44.99 in CA)

How can I see my TurboTax fees?

What is Refund Processing Service?

The IRS will send you a letter that explains why your refund was reduced. Meanwhile it might help you to check your online IRS account.

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.
