Here is the IRS new announcement where you can read more.
This is from the above announcement:
If the IRS adjusts someone’s tax return, the taxpayer will receive a letter within about 30 days, explaining what kind of adjustment was made and the amount of the adjustment.
I personally do not spend any refund until I am sure that it is not a mistake. I just last week repaid $2,450 back to my state of Ohio for a mistake in money that they refunded and should not have.
These are very unusual and strange times and I know that the federal and state workers are doing their best. Having the law change midway through the filing season has made a stressful season even worse. Mistakes get made and then found. I did not expect to get a notice to send repayment, but when I did get the notice, I went through what had happened and agreed that I had received an overpayment.
Without looking at your return, I cannot tell you whether your refunded amount was correct. I hope that the explanation letter that you receive will make everything clear to you.
