TurboTax's calculations are correct based on the data that you enter.   But the software cannot know if you leave out income or enter something incorrectly.   A LOT of people have made mistakes and incorrect entries with the recovery rebate credit or the child tax credit, so those are the first things you should check to see if that is where you may have made a mistake.

If your refund was short by $1400 per person---it is likely to be a mix up regarding the 3rd EIP payment.   If it is short by $1800 or  $1500 or  a multiple of that amount  ---   maybe a mixup regarding the advance child tax credit payments.   Check to see what you entered for the letter 6475 that you got for the stimulus payments of $1400 per person----if you entered that you did not get those payments but you really did receive them, then the IRS has to reduce your refund.   Or if you received the advance child tax credit payments between July and December, but did not enter the whole amount that you received correctly, the IRS has to reduce your refund.  The child tax credit payments were on letter 6419 that the IRS sent to each parent.

 Or---the fees you were supposed to pay for using TurboTax + the "refund processing fee" charged by the third party bank….

Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund?  (Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $39.99 or $44.99 in CA)

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

What is Refund Processing Service?

The IRS will send you a letter that explains why your refund was reduced.   Meanwhile it might help you to check your online IRS account.
