My refund was supposed to be $6355. I only received $4873.20. I was shorted by $1481.80. I’ve been trying to get answers but I haven’t had any success. I’ve been filing with turbo tax for 7 years. This the first problem I’ve had with you guys. I’m not happy with the company right now as you can imagine

LOTS of people have made mistakes this year with the recovery rebate credit by "forgetting" that they received the $1400 per person stimulus checks last year. They answered no to the questions for the recovery recovery rebate credit and put the $1400 per person on line 30 of their returns. But you cannot get it twice, so the IRS removes it when it is there by mistake.

Try checking your online account with the IRS

Does the IRS show that you received a $1400 stimulus or EIP check in 2021? Did you receive it? When you were asked on your tax return did you say no? Was there $1400 on line 30 of your tax return?

If the IRS says you got $1400 last year but you did not receive it you can have it traced.

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)

Yes I checked off that I did receive it. This makes since. Maybe turbo tax showed me getting 6355 with that 1400 on there. The IRS saw I had received it and corrected it maybe

@realmike78 Look at your tax return. Is $1400 on line 30? If you had it on line 30, but already received it last year, the IRS does not let you get it twice, so that is why your refund was reduced.
