So did you do a google search for "IRS TOPIC 151" and then read it? It's at https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc151 and clearly states that the IRS will be sending you a letter of explanation of what they changed on your return, and why. Until you get that letter there's absolutely nothing you or anyone else can do.
