Should I amend my TurboTax return for more refund? ($19k income, 3 deps, $5k refund)

Filed through TurboTax and got accepted. Getting back around 5k with 19k income and 3 dependents but I have this gut feeling I messed something up and should be getting more back. Should I amend through TurboTax or go somewhere else? Don't wanna mess anything up but feel like im leaving money on the table.

Tax pro here. Before amending, double check if you claimed all credits: Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Recovery Rebate Credit. With 3 dependents and that income level, you might qualify for more. But DON'T amend without being 100% sure something's wrong - it'll delay everything.

honestly its hard to tell just from the interface. you need someone to look at your actual transcript to see whats going on

Listen, stop trying to be a detective and use taxr.ai - it'll analyze your transcript and tell you exactly what credits you qualified for and if you're missing any. Its $4.99 but worth every penny. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

5k seems about right for your situation tbh. I made 22k last year with 2 kids and got back 4200
