I have filed my taxes a few weeks ago. My refund was $1647, but I just got a notice from IRS saying my refund is only $606, why??? What do I do now?

    The IRS should be sending you a letter explaining the change in your refund amount.  You can also call the IRS for information.

     

    The IRS telephone number is 1-800-829-1040, and they are available from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The best time to call is early in the morning.

    - The first question the automated system will ask you is to choose your language.
    - Once you’ve set your language, do NOT choose Option 1 (regarding refund info). Choose option 2 for “Personal Income Tax” instead.
    - Next, press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment”.
    - Next, press 3 “for all other questions.”
    -Next, press 2 “for all other questions.”
    - When the system asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, do NOT enter anything.
    -After it asks twice, you will be prompted with another menu.
    -Finally, press 2 for personal or individual tax questions. The system should then transfer you to an agent.
