Why is the refund that the IRS says I am getting is alot less that Turbotax?

TurboTax never knows when the IRS/state reduces your refund--that information is not shared with TT.

 NOTE: You can contact the IRS Treasury Offset Program Call Center at 1-800-304-3107 to ask if they have an offset for you on file. TurboTax would not have that information.
