The other week, I got a $452 refund check for my Federal Tax Return. With it was a printed card from the IRS called "Notice 54, rev. January 2000 -- About your Refund Check."
It said: "The amount of the enclosed refund check is different from the amount shown on your return. You should be receiving a notice in a few days that explains why the amount of the check is different and what additional information, if any, you may need to provide to the IRS."
There was more text, but the jist of it is above. The reason I'm so confused is because when my accountant gave me hard copies of my tax returns (after e-Filing them), the amount of my Federal refund was shown to be $452. And that's the SAME amount that I received the other week on my refund check. So why is the IRS telling me there's a discrepancy, when there actually ISN'T??
On top of that, it's been about 2 weeks, and I never got the explanatory notice I supposedly would be getting "in a few days". WHAT is going on?

I am in the same exact situation, Everything matches up that I can see. I have been waiting almost 3 weeks for that explanatory notice that will probably never come.

Sounds like maybe that preprinted card got into the envelope with your refund check by mistake, and that you didn't get a notice bevause there ISN't a discrepancy.

They could have made a keying error that they later caught.
