The IRS checks each return that is submitted. If the IRS finds a math error, a notice of correction is mailed to the taxpayer. The IRS usually includes this amount with the original refund check. If the refund check arrives, and the amount is not included, you can call IRS assistance at 800-829-1040 to check on the status of the refund.
