After you file

@karavan123 when the IRS 'accepts' you return, all that means is they acknowledge receipt; if doesn't mean they have reviewed or approved the refund abount.

 

You'll have to explain what kinds of things were on your tax return before anyone here can even guess at the reason there was a discrepancy between what you submitted and what the IRS approved.

 

did you enter a quarterly estimated payment on the tax return that the IRS has no record of? 

did you check the box that you wanted the refund to be rolled to 2023? what is on line 36 of Form 1040?
