Are you saying a Federal refund deposit you received was $300 less than you expected?
First, be sure you are considering only your Federal refund and not including any state refund. The 2 refunds come separately.
Or did you choose to pay any TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund? If so, here are some typical fees:
Live Self-Employed
Federal return 199.99
State return 44.99
Option to pay fees out of the Fed refund: 39.99 service fee (44.99 for California filers)
Plus possible sales taxes
If you used all of the above, the total fee would be 284.97 or 289.97 (California) plus possible sales taxes.
