Question

refund question

2 replies
17 views

I filled 1040 on Feb 2 2022 and form indicates refund of $547.00. Received refund on March 2 direct deposit of $370.00 . Any thoughts? I think government owes me $177.00 the difference. Why not refund amount shown on 1040?

Why is my direct-deposited refund or check lower than the amount in TurboTax?

Why is My Tax Refund Not What I Expected?

Did you pay for TurboTax with your refund? That would be price of your TurboTax plus $39 fee? You can contact the IRS and ask why the difference. TurboTax does not get notified of anything that happens with your refund. Google how to get a real person at IRS for phone numbers and the buttons to push to get a real person.
