After you file
Refund less than expected:
A possible reason that your refund was
lower than you expected, is that your refund was reduced by the
government, either to correct a calculation error or through a refund
offset. Or, for other possibilities, please see Why is my federal refund
less than I expected?
A refund offset is when an IRS refund is
reduced or intercepted to pay off delinquent debt, such as past-due
child support, outstanding student loans, or unpaid state income tax.
You
will receive a notice in the mail if an offset occurs. The notice will
include the original tax refund amount and your offset amount. It will
also include the agency receiving the offset payment and that agency’s
contact information.
If you believe you do not owe the debt or
you want to dispute the amount taken from your refund, you should
contact the agency that received the offset amount.
If you have
questions regarding the offset of your federal tax refund or offset of
another U.S. government-issued payment, you can call the Treasury Offset
Program (TOP) Call Center to obtain agency contact information during
their customer service hours.

If
you suspect your refund is being held, sometimes people make progress
contacting their local IRS center or a Taxpayer Advocate.

If
some of the refund that you were expecting was from your state tax
refund, you may wish to contact your State Department of Revenue to
