I filed my return electronically (turbotax) and already received my federal refund of $3164.  When I went back into turbotax to check on my state return status, I noticed that the federal return now shows as $1317.  Do I need to do anything?  I don't undestand why this changed.  Will I have to pay back the difference or is there an issue with Turbotax?

    • Past-due child support;
    • Federal agency nontax debts;
    • State income tax obligations; or
    • Certain unemployment compensation debts owed to a state (generally, these are debts for
      • compensation paid due to fraud, or
      • contributions owing to a state fund that weren't paid)."
    • Please see the original IRS article Reduced refund
