Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Generally, the IRS and state taxing agencies will send you a notice to explain the difference in your tax forms and the refund they have sent you. They may have adjusted your account, or they may have offset your refund for past due taxes, child support, unpaid student loan debt, or a number of other reasons. 

 

I would wait a reasonable amount of time for the letter to arrive. When you call the IRS or state taxing authority you should have a copy of your return handy. 

 

You can see the Treasury Offset program here and IRS information about reduced refunds here. You might also get more information by using the IRS's Where Is My Refund.
