After you file

As already explained in a different thread to which you posted, it will take several weeks for the IRS to send you a letter of explanation if the IRS reduced your refund.   Your federal refund could have been reduced by the IRS if you owed back taxes, child support, or had some other sort of mistake on your federal return, and the letter will explain that.  Meanwhile.....you need to look at the IRS refund site and see if the refund site says they issued the amount from line 35a of your Form 1040 to you -- or if they issued a lower amount.  Nowhere in any of your multiple posts have you mentioned actually looking at the IRS site to see what the site says.

 

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2022 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
