Please be aware that the IRS states:
- "If you file your return on or after April 15, IRS has an administrative time (typically 45 days) to process your return without paying interest on your refund.
- If IRS pays you interest, then interest on the refund will start on the return due date, late filed return received date, or date the payment was made, whichever is the latest."
Generally, the due date is April 15 but this year the due date has been extended to May 17.
Therefore, the IRS does not owe you any interest since your received your refund before the due date of the return.
You can call 1-800-304-3107 to find out if you had an offset that affected your tax refund.
Please see Treasury Offset Program for additional information.
Please be aware, if you received Notice 1444 in the mail but have not received your payment as mentioned in the notice, then you need to request a trace to be able to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return. Please see How do I request a payment trace to track my first or second Economic Impact Payments?
But I agree, the IRS should send you an explanation statement why your refund changed (if your refund wasn't offset).
