You should have received a letter or statement from the IRS
explaining the difference between the refund you claimed on
your return and the refund they paid you. If you received
the refund recently, the statement may not have arrived yet.

Have you looked at your tax return (Form 1040) to see if
there is an obvious reason for the difference? For example,
did you claim a credit in the amount of the difference,
which the IRS might have disallowed?

You will receive a letter soon explaining what changes were
made (Math Errors?) to your tax return resulting in a lower
refund check.

If you discover the cause of the discrepancy, and are still
entitled to additional refund, prepare an amended return to
correct the error.

If the REFUND you received was different than what you
claimed on your tax return, you should have received a
letter from the IRS explaining the reason for the
discrepancy. If not, call 1-800-829-1040.

BTW, a tax RETURN is the form you fill out to report your
income, deductions, and tax liability. A REFUND is what you
get if your withholding (including EIC) is greater than your
tax liability. Many RETURNs do not result in a REFUND.

Default Wrong federal tax return?

I claimed a tax return on my income (12k) for 2005.
According to my calculations, I was supposed to get back
1751.xx dollars, but in my return I only received $1155. How
do I appeal this, and how can I find out why they didn't
refund the amount I asked?
