There are many reasons why your refund could be less than what you expected, such as:

• Having a child turn 17 in 2023, now receiving the Credit for Other Dependents instead of the Child Tax Credit.
• You didn't qualify for the Earned Income credit. 
• Received unemployment benefits, but didn't have any taxes withheld. 
• Adjusting your withholding to maximize your take-home pay.
