What should I do if the money IRS returned to me is different from what TurboTax claims?

I received less money than what the TurboTax claimed.

Does the IRS website indicate that you were sent less than what was reported on your federal tax return Form 1040 Line 34? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

If so, how much less?

Hi DoninGA,

Thanks for the reply. The California Franchise Tax Board says that "You made an error when you transferred your Schedule CA Federal Adjusted Gross Income to your tax return (CODE: BG)" and thus refunds me less money.

My "federal tax return Form 1040 Line 34" is empty.
