Federal tax refund

Our taxes were filed and according to the Turbotax status at the end of completion, we had balances due both to the Federal and State taxes. Payments were not made to both entities until April 29, but because of the large amounts due I knew there would be a penalty for paying late so I expected a notice from both for the penalty amounts. However, on May 17, 2022 I received a check from the United States Treasury, RAMO Fresno 12/2021 TAX REFUND, so I am confused. The amount was not the exact amount that the Turbotax venue stated I owed, so it must include a deducted amount for fees, etc??? I am confused and I do not want to cash the check, there was no explanation letter attached. I am having such a hard time signing onto their website its taken me all this time to figure out what I should do.

we can see your return and Turbotax gets no info about refunds, balances due, or changes made by taxing authorities. expect a notice of explanation from the IRS in 8 weeks or less. the other option is to sign on to the IRS website to review your tax return transcript online. on various lines, it shows what you reported and what the IRS computers have.

again the transcript type you want is tax return transcript.

you can also request the transcript by mail. look further down on the page for the number to call.
