Yes. It's more like " Then they MAY check the numbers".
You're looking for some sort of assurance that your refund is coming soon. Nobody here can give you that. If you've already filed and were accepted, the bottom line is you'll get it when you get it. Nobody but the IRS knows the checking process. But, I'm pretty sure taking a smaller student loan interest deduction is low on the list. The fact that you took any loan interest is bigger trigger.
