Why is my refund reduced by $700

[Lissypie01]

I checked the irs site and my mail. I didn’t owe anything because it was paid last year. Why was my refund reduced by $700 ?

This information is not provided to TurboTax.  You would have to call the IRS at 800-829-1040 to see why they made a change.  This can happen for reason such as to them having information that does not match what you entered so they make a correction.  This can occur due to an entry error or missing W-2 or 1099 that they received that you did not enter on your return.  It can also occur because of a refund offset, or an adjustment to a credit or deduction you claimed.

The IRS will mail you a notice or letter explaining why they changed your tax return.  It may take a couple weeks or more for you to receive it.
