Refund

My husband and I filed in February and we filed jointly with injured spouse. We got our refund today but it was only about half of what turbo tax said we were getting. Can you tell me why this is? And they made 2 separate deposits.

You will need to contact the IRS for information. It might be easiest to set up an account with them. When you file the Injured Spouse form the IRS determines who they will apply your deductions and credit to. You should get a letter from the IRS that tells you who they applied what to and how they calculated everything.
