If your refund was higher than was initially calculated, this usually means that the IRS corrected a calculation error in your favor, such as a missed deduction. You will receive a letter (like a CP49 or general notification) explaining any adjustments the IRS has made to your tax return.

Right, it should be more.  The IRS sent the full amount on 1040 line 35a  and then the 3rd party bank took the fees out including the EXTRA $40 or 45 Pay with Refund service charge.
