And please explain what you mean by "paid retribution." What did you pay? By what means? If you owed tax due to the IRS you are not getting a federal refund. Look at your Form 1040. Do you see an amount on line 35a? If so, that is a federal refund. Or do you see an amount on line 37? That is tax due that had to be paid. There cannot be amounts on both of those lines--it is one or the other.
