No, it would not be normal to receive separate refunds on a joint return. There would be only one refund for the full return. It sounds as though the IRS has adjusted your refund amount for some reason. You should receive a letter from them explaining the adjustment within two weeks of the refund receipt. That letter will have a telephone number for you to call with any questions. Until that letter is received, its really not worth your time to call because the person you reach can only look to see what the letter says to explain it to you.
