Are you expecting both Federal and state refunds? If so, are you sure it's not the state refund? The Fed and state refunds come in separate deposits.
Look at your actual Federal return and verify the amount shown on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a.

If the IRS reduced your refund, you should get a letter in about 3 weeks or so explaining why, or you can phone them. We can tell you how to reach a live IRS agent.
