When you submit your tax forms to the IRS do they go over it to make sure you did it right?
I was due a refund and got a different amount from what I calculated.

Returns are scanned and entered via computers, and maybe 10% are spot checked for accuracy by live humans.

Certain factors select you for further investigation, such as dependents you didn't have last year, a very big difference in income (think 300% difference or more)

inclusion on any terrorist, or no-fly lists
and any other suspicious, or unusual circumstances surrounding you, or your money.


Reasons for your refund differing from what you submitted include:
user error on your part (including typos)
user error on IRS part (including computer errors)
outstanding collection orders on your IRS account, due to back taxes, child support, or other reasons.

If you feel the return was incorrect, you can contact the IRS, and request an explanation.

Everything gets entered into their computers, and the computers are programmed to verify that calculations are correct, and to flag returns that look out of line for a person to look at. If the error is just a minor math error, the computers will correct it without a person getting involved.

Of course they do! Wouldn't you if you were in their shoes?

If your refund is different from what you expected they would have sent you a letter explaining the reason for the difference. Sometimes the refund arrives first, but the letter will follow shortly.

Yes, the IRS does go through each return filed to look for general errors like math errors, SSN errors, address errors and the like.

Also, depending on how long it took the IRS to issue you a refund, they would have added interest if they issued it to late. Generally, the IRS has 45 days after the due date or the actual filing date to issue a refund before any interest is paid, whichever is later.

You will get a letter from the IRS explaining the difference. If you don't understand the letter or disagree with it, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask for help understanding it.

Another reason for changes...being in exam. The portion of the tax return not being questioned may get released immediately. The rest of the refund will be held up until you provide enough information to substantiate the numbers on your tax return.

Yes. Your return goes through many checks. For example, you put wrong social security number, don't sign the return, or claim not qualified dependent, your figure don't match the W2 income, you made calculation errors, miss to add any 1099 income--- all such errors will be detected.
Also on a self-employed income, if a deduction differs a lot from the normal amount of this deduction, then it will be detected. IRS computers have all the required data.

They will correct any "math" errors. However, if you misreported something, that could be a different question.

Yes, your return will also include a code number for an explanation of why the refund was different from what you expected. I believe they also send a list of what the codes mean. If not look up the code number in the internet. or at IRS.GOV

On a more friendly note the IRS notified me, after mailing my refund, that if I filled out an additional form (which they included with the notice) I could get additional money back. I did and received an additional $944

Your tax return is sent to processing department. IRS has all the income that was reported by your employer(s) banks etc. they input your information on the computer and if any difference they get a red flag telling them you either left something out or over reported something. The SSN of your dependent is also enter to make sure no one else is claiming them.
A letter is sent to you telling you the difference that were found.

Only if your return looks suspicious. If you ever get audited, then I guarantee that you would have wished that you told the whole truth. A friend of mine, her in-laws got audited and wasn't honest at all on their returns. The IRS froze their bank accounts, put locks on personal property and all sorts of stuff until it got cleared up. They ended up losing a lot and paying in a whole lot! A total nightmare!!! If you have a change of dependents than from the year before, they will go over it. IF you don't think that it is a right decision, contact your tax preparer or the IRS for inquiry.

Absolutely they do. They love to change your numbers and screw with your calculations.
