    Sorry---reviewing past year returns is not a service provided by TurboTax.   If you want the 2023 return looked at by someone else, seek local paid tax help.  

     

    Or ---purchase and use the 2023 downloaded TT software and prepare a 2023 return yourself to compare to the one you filed.  You can only use the software on a full PC or Mac

     

     

     If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

    You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

    We cannot see your screen, your return or your account.  Have you entered ALL of your 2024 information?  All your income, etc.?  Many tax documents that you need do not arrive until late January or even February, so maybe you do not have it all there yet.

     

    There are a lot of variables that affect your refund or tax due including how much you earned, how much tax you had withheld, your filing status, the number of dependents you claim, your deductions and credits, etc.  You may have lost Earned Income Credit or the Child Tax Credit— did a child turn 17?  If you received the EIC last year, remember that changes in the amount you earn have a big effect on the amount of EIC you can get. (Sometimes earning more money means less EIC)  Are you 65 or older ?  If so, your standard deduction is higher. Everyone has a higher standard deduction now so it is harder to use itemized deductions.

     

    And of course, always check your own data entries, looking for errors such as misplaced decimals or extra zeros.

    Print out 2023  and 2024  and compare them side by side to see what is different.
