I filed my federal return electronically and I was due a refund. The return was accepted and I just received the deposit from the IRS into my bank account. The deposit was $5.60 greater than what my return said I should get back. The return was checked for errors and audit risk before submitting. Confused!

If it took a long time for the IRS to process your return and send your refund they added some interest to your refund---nothing to get freaked out about.
