The IRS website would have given you notice that the tax refund was being offset for unpaid debts or the IRS changed your tax return to reduce the amount of your tax refund - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

Why is my refund different than the amount on the tax return I filed?
All or part of your refund may have been used (offset) to pay off past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support, or other federal nontax debts, such as student loans. To find out if you may have an offset or if you have questions about an offset, contact the agency to which you owe the debt.

We also may have changed your refund amount because we made changes to your tax return. You’ll get a notice explaining the changes.  Where’s My Refund?  will reflect the reasons for the refund offset when it relates to a change in your tax return.

Tax Topic 203 - Refund Offsets for Unpaid Child Support, Certain Federal and State Debts, and U...  has more information about refund offsets.

 what exactly do you mean by "adjusted" refund amount?
...................did you E-file a tax return, then later "Amend" it?

Yes it was audited

Then you'll need to talk to the tax department that "audited" it to find out what they changed, and why.

Most of the time they are correct in their changes, but in certain situations can be wrong......so only you can find out what they changed and why.   We users can give suggestions as to what we think happened, but you need to get more details from the department who audited your file. There would be a telephone number on whatever notices they sent to you.
