    <title>topic Re: Refund amount in After you file</title>
    <link>https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/re-refund-amount/01/3349075#M753890</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;There can be a number of reasons why your refund was less than the amount you expected. First of all, look carefully at your actual tax returns.&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;There is sometimes confusion about the amount of refund to expect when users misinterpret the “summary” they saw in TurboTax. The amount of your refund is on your tax return.&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Federal refund is on line 35a on Form 1040&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;State tax forms are all different so we cannot tell you what line to look at on your state form.&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;BUT it is important to actually LOOK at your tax return forms yourself and see the amounts of your tax refunds and/or tax due.&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;A lot of confusion would be avoided by doing that.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Be aware also that your Federal refund and state refund do NOT come together.&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; Federal and state tax returns are processed by two completely separate entities.&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;There is no rule as to which one will come first,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is also possible that your state reduced your refund for debts owed in your state—if the state reduced your state refund you will receive a letter from the state.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund?&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;(Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $39.99 or $44.99 in CA)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How can I see my TurboTax&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;fees?&lt;SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Refund amount</title>
      <link>https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/refund-amount/01/3349031#M753879</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Why was I charged $605 instead of the $173 that was agreed upon and why didn't a note come with&amp;nbsp; all these emails on why my money is short instead of having to go through all this extra this?.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
