Should I be concerned when my federal refund received is more than my 1040 stated?

No, you don't need to be concerned. If your refund amount ended up being higher (or lower) than what your Form 1040 indicated when you submitted your return, this means that the IRS has made a change. 

Within the next few weeks, you will get a letter explaining what changes they have made. There will also be a number on the letter that you can call for assistance if you have additional questions about what happened.
