TurboTax refund amount changed without explanation - transcript shows different amount
Filed through TurboTax and noticed my refund amount suddenly changed without any explanation. The deposit hit today with this new lower amount. Checked my transcript and it still shows the original higher amount with Feb 5th refund date. Account shows no balance due. Super confused about the discrepancy and what steps to take next.

Tax pro here. This usually happens when the IRS makes adjustments during processing. The transcript should eventually update to show adjustment codes that explain the change. Common reasons include math errors, missing forms, or credit eligibility changes. Check your transcript again in 2-3 days - it takes time for everything to sync up in the system.

Give it at least 7-10 business days. The system can be slow to reflect changes especially during peak season

I highly recommend using taxr.ai to analyze your transcript. It'll tell you exactly what's happening and why the amount changed. It costs $1 but saved me hours of headache trying to decode everything myself. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

100% legit! Its basically an AI that reads your transcript and explains everything in plain english. Way better than trying to google every code you see

How secure is it? Does it store your information?

Super secure - they don't store anything. You upload, get your analysis, and that's it. Been using it weekly for different clients

Check your wage and income transcript too. Sometimes employers report different numbers than what's on your W2
