It could be due to an offset or a change to your tax return by the IRS:

An offset is used to pay off past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support, or other federal non tax debts, such as student loans. Also, you could see a change in your refund amount because the IRS made a change to your tax return. 

If the IRS made an adjustment or it is due to a change you will receive a notice in the mail.

I was supposed to get almost $900 back fro federal. I got my state back, but not my federal. I looked up my status, and it says adjusted refund amount: $0.00. But I go to turbo tax, and it says it was accepted.. I’m very confused! Also that blue bar on turbo tax is in the middle. Any ideas??
