Has your refund amount changed since you filed? Some of the reasons for changes are listed below.
Offset due to Past Due Obligation
The IRS has adjusted your refund amount due to an offset. The refund amount will be different on the IRS website but not in your account.
Filing Fees Deducted from Refund
If you elected to have the filing fees deducted from your refund rather than paying by debit or credit card, your refund amount will be reduced by the filing fees.
State Refund Amount Changed
If your state refund amount is different than expected and you are not aware of any past obligations, your filing fees have already been paid, and you have not received a letter of explanation from your state, it is suggested that you contact your state directly to inquire about the change. Each state's Department of Revenue or Taxation Board will have contact information located on the state website.
None of the above
If none of the reasons listed pertain to your return, we recommend you visit the IRS Where's My Refund tool for more information. Information will be provided there or in a letter mailed to the address on the return. Refer to our list or articles to assist you with your notice.
