Who can I talk to to make sure my refund was correct and to make sure I’m not missing any money that I’m owed?

My refund was estimated to be over $1,200 this year, but when I did my taxes, I only got under $350 back, and I feel like something is missing from my taxes. I've already go the refund but Who can I talk to to double-check if I’m not missing any money I'm owed and how do I request to redo my tax refund if possible?

You do not say how you got an estimate of $1200---where did that amount come from?   We cannot see your tax return so we do not know how much your refund should have been.   We have no access to your information.  Did you check all of the amounts you entered from your W-2's and any 1099's to be sure they were entered correctly?   You cannot "re-do" your tax return unless there is an actual mistake --- and then you can prepare an amended return to fix the mistake.

Some things to be aware of---tax laws changed for 2022.  The child tax credit is less, the childcare credit is less and is non-refundable, the earned income credit is less, there was no charity deduction for $300 per spouse on line 10 like there was for 2021.   There were no recovery rebate credits for 2022.  Many people got lower refunds for 2022.

Print out a copies of your 2021 and 2022 returns and compare them side by side, line by line to see what was different.

If you would like to speak with someone regarding your refund, you will need to contact the IRS.

How I got the estimate is when I use the estimate calculator from Credit Karma for my tax refund. At first I was upset but still did my taxes but now I just want to make sure if I did them right.
