The suggested causes are definitely not what is going on with my case. Turbo tax forms showed a $2,800 federal refund. Nearly 10 months after filing I got a check from the IRS, not a direct deposit as it was supposed to be. The check was for a little over $1,600, with the check was a letter saying my taxes had been recalculated. There was no further explanation and no revised forms attached. When I called to talk to the IRS, I got the run-around & no good explanation.
Now the state (Iowa) wants to tax me on the full amount shown on their form.
