We cannot see your screen or your tax return. We do not know when "it" said your federal refund was $4205 or what you were doing when it dropped to $4151-- a difference of $54. When and where were you seeing $4205? Were you seeing a combination of a federal refund and a small state refund, perhaps? Or when you added a new piece of information before filing, did the refund drop?
What are the amounts on your Form 1040 (or 1040-SR) lines 34, 35a, 36, and 38?
Did you select the option to pay your TurboTax fees from your federal refund?
See if there is a penalty on 1040 line 38. You can have a penalty even if you are getting a refund. It happened to me one year.
