If your IRS-issued tax refund comes in around $35 or $40 less than the amount shown in TurboTax, it's probably because you used the Pay With My Refund service to pay your TurboTax fees. If that is the case, there is a separate processing fee for this service, which is then deducted from your federal refund in addition to your TurboTax fees. Please see the TurboTax FAQ: Why is my direct-deposited refund or check lower than the amount in TurboTax? for more information.
You may have also had a Refund Offset, if that is the case the IRS will send you a letter with an explanation. To find out more about Refund Offsets, please see the TurboTax FAQ: What is a refund offset?
