Refund less than expected

My federal refund was $643 before fees. When it was deposited in my account it was $200 less than that. The fees totaled around $72 so I'm wondering where I can find the reason for the $128 difference.

Refund Offset

Your Federal Refund may have been Offset by the IRS.

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'll get an explanatory letter from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service if your refund is offset. The remainder of your refund will be processed as usual; an offset shouldn't delay it, unless of course your entire refund was applied to your debt.

More info about refund offsets, including contact info and the appeals process, is at IRS.gov (Tax Topic 203).
