More specific information is needed to be able to say what might be going on. On your tax return can you tell us what you reported for the following:
- Income. You said it was all hourly work. Did you get a W-2?
- Amount of tax withheld
- # of dependents
It sounds like you got a bill from the IRS for some earlier charge and they applied it against your refund. What does the notice from the IRS say?
