The 1040SR just has larger print for seniors to make it easier to read. There is no difference in the calculations.

Since the difference between the refund you expected and the refund you received is exactly $600, perhaps you indicated on your return that you did not get the 2nd stimulus payment and the IRS thinks you did.

You can contact the IRS on the calculation of your refund. To contact the IRS, please review the steps and information below:

IRS Support Number: (800) 829-1040

To reach a live agent at the IRS support number, follow these steps:

1. Select your preferred language.

2. Press 2 for “Personal Income Tax”

3. Press 1 for “Form, Tax History, or Payment”

4. Press 3 for “All Other Questions”

5. Press 2 for “All Other Questions”

6. Do not enter your SSN or EIN. It will ask you twice; do not enter anything.

7. Press 2 for “Personal or Individual Tax Questions”

They are available Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time (Alaska & Hawaii follow Pacific Time).

The use of the 1040SR is immaterial it's the same as the 1040 but has bigger type.

Sounds to me like you claimed you didn't get the second $600 stimulus....and they think you did. Maybe that, or perhaps they are going to issue the extra $600 separately, after they check up on your data. The IRS may be sending you a snail-mail in the next two weeks explaining why they changed your refund

Was there $600 on 1040 line 30 for the Recovery Rebate Credit? That was for the 2nd Stimulus check. The IRS has been adjusting returns that claimed it but the IRS already sent it. Did you get it after you filed?

You automatically get the 1040SR if you or your spouse is 65 or older.
