I have a refund of ~$6,300. I selected treasury bonds for my refund, and opted for the max amount of $5,000 for the bonds. Now, I am getting this message for my refund on the IRS website:
You requested that part or all of your refund be used for a US Savings Bond(s) purchase. However, we could not honor your request for the savings bond purchase due to one or more of the following reasons:
- The bond amount you claimed was not in a multiple of $50 or it exceeded $5,000.
This is false- I requested 5,000$ in bonds. I have now received about $3,400 deposited into my savings account as a direct deposit for my refund, which is not only not what I wanted, it's only about 60% of my refund. What gives?
