I was looking back at previous tax returns and I noticed that in 2014, my returns says that I received over $4000 back. But I only received $1000 back. I started my return for 2016, but I cleared it out because I'm afraid to complete it after discovering what happened in 2014

It is possible that your 2014 refund was offset by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service to pay a debt. These are specific debts that your refund can be offset for:

Past-due child support
Federal agency non-tax debts
State income tax obligations
Certain unemployment compensation debts owed to a state (generally, these are debts for (1) compensation paid due to fraud, or (2) contributions owing to a state fund that weren't paid)

You should have received a letter explaining the offset to you if your refund was offset. You can contact the BFS's TOP call center at 800-304-3107 or TDD 866-297-0517, Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. to confirm if your 2014 refund was offset.
