The IRS may have accepted your return for processing however after processing the return they disagree with some of the entries on your return and have changed the refund amount.Login on irs.gov and click on the where's my refund button and read the message they have for you there. They will also send a letter in the next couple of weeks to explain what they changed and why. Chances are really good it was the advanced stimulus payment amount that you entered on the return that was incorrect and they made the correction for you.

First of all were you having the fees deducted from your refund? Then after the fees is the difference about 2400? Do you have 2400 on 1040 line 30?

A common adjustment is if you claimed the Recovery rebate credit on 1040 line 30 when you already got the Stimulus payment or got the second one after you filed or reported the wrong amounts or entered the wrong amounts in the 2 boxes. If you entered the total you got for both rounds in the same box it would think you didn't get the other one.
