I would like to know why my paperwork says I am getting $1017.03 back and my actual refund was $1013.83? Difference of $3.20, but why?

Sales tax on your TT fees?

Another possibility is that your refund was reduced by the government, either to correct an error or through a refund offset. The IRS Where's My Refund tool will let you know if your refund have been offset.

You'll get an explanatory letter from the government if your refund differs from what was on your filed return.
