After you file

Your tax refund that you received was less than you were expecting.  The reasons could be:

  • The IRS changed and / or corrected your tax return and your refund was reduced.  The IRS will notify you of their changes / corrections in writing.  One such notice is the CP12 Notice.
  • The tax refund was offset for debts that the IRS believes that you owe.  See this IRS FAQ.

Calls about individual 1040 tax returns should be addressed to 800-829-1040.  Telephone lines are open from 7 am to 7 pm local time.
