You have electronically filed your 2021 Federal tax return and the IRS has accepted the tax return.
If the IRS has reduced your refund, they will be sending you a communication explaining why they reduced the amount of your refund. It is very difficult to contact someone at the IRS.
Once you know the nature of the problem, you may be able to correct the problem by amending your 2021 Federal tax return. .
Many problems are the result of advance payments for the Child Tax Credit and the third stimulus check reported as a Recovery Rebate Credit. These items are reported on line 28 and line 30 on the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return.
If you did not receive $1,400 for the third stimulus payment, the IRS may think that you were already issued the third stimulus payment. There may be similar problems with advance payments for the Child Tax Credit if you qualified for them from July through December of 2021.
At your IRS online account, you can find whether a payment was issued to you that you did not receive. You can also find this information on your tax transcript.
If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.
