It is possible that you might owe IRS and they took your refund to offset the debt or the back taxes. I will suggest you contact the Treasury
Offset Program at 800-304-310 to find out if your refund was reduced because of
an offset. If this does not apply to you or you feel refund was reduced
in error, call the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service at 1-877-777-4778. The service is free.
Here are the possible reasons
when the offset is taken:
- Past due
child support;
- Debts owed
to a federal agency;
- Unemployment
debts owed to the state;
- Past due
federal student loans;
- Unpaid
state income tax.
