After you file

The refund amount the IRS deposited in your account may be less than what you expected. There may be a few reasons why this may have happened. Situations can vary so I believe sharing this information may be of assistance for the majority of scenarios.

 

Please see the information here for assistance and possible reasons this may have happened. If this happens, you should get a letter from the government explaining why you didn't get the entire refund. You can also get this information by looking up your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund page.
