Where is the rest of my return?

When I originally filed my tax return this year it said I would be receiving almost $2,000 I received only $191. Can some please contact me and help me figure this out?

Where is the rest of my return?

Missing dollar amounts may be caused by a refund offset.  This is when the government applies part or all of a taxpayer's refund towards the taxpayer's past-due income tax, child or spousal support, student loans, or state unemployment compensation debts.

 

If this happens, you should get a letter from the government explaining why you didn't get the entire refund.   You can also get this information by looking up your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund page.

 

Also, the government may have made a correction to your tax return, resulting in a lower than anticipated refund.   Again, you'll get an official explanatory letter when this happens.

 

Please visit the IRS FAQ page on this topic.  It is the next to the last item on that page.   Only the IRS can provide you with details regarding any adjustments that they made.
