I do not know the exact reason that the IRS did not refund the amount that you were expecting to receive, but one common reason that could have resulted in your refund being lower than you expected, is that your refund was reduced by the government through a refund offset. 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 will receive a notice in the mail if an offset occurs. The notice will include the original tax refund amount and your offset amount. It will also include the agency receiving the offset payment and that agency’s contact information.

If you believe you do not owe the debt or you want to dispute the amount taken from your refund, you should contact the agency that received the offset amount.

If you have questions regarding the offset of your federal tax refund or offset of another U.S. government-issued payment, you can call the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) Call Center to obtain agency contact information during our customer service hours .

Thank you for your response. If this is the case the only thing I owe is back taxes which the IRS is automatically deducting from my account. If this is what it is for, can I file a grievance? We had a contract for so much a month for so many months.

I'm sorry I have no way of seeing any descriptive information which would indicate why he IRS reduced the expected amount of your refund. I would suggest you visit your local IRS office for answers to any questions you might still have.
