Why is my refund different than the amount reflected
on the tax return I filed?
If you owe past-due federal tax, state income tax, state
unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support, or certain
federal nontax debts, such as student loans, all or part of your refund may be
used (offset) to pay the past-due amount. Offsets for federal taxes are made by
the IRS. All other offsets are made by the Treasury Department's Bureau of
Fiscal Services (BFS)(Formerly
the Financial Management Service or FMS). For
federal tax offsets, you will receive a notice from the IRS. For all other
offsets, you will receive a notice from BFS. To find out if you may have an
offset or if you have any questions about it, contact the agency to which you
owe the debt. See Tax
Topic 203 for more information about
refund offsets.
Another reason your refund amount may be different is
if the IRS made changes to your tax return that changed your refund
amount. In this case you will get a notice in the mail from us
explaining the changes.
