Deductions & credits

the IRS should not be applying any overpayment to the deferred self-employment tax. two completely different things.  you should be getting a notice in 2 to 3 weeks explaining what the IRS changed that affected your refund.  you should also be able to get a transcript of your tax return which shows amounts per return and amounts per IRS computers.
