LOL!
Yes, it is a red flag.
The idea is not to use the IRS as a piggy bank. They don't pay interest.
Last year there was some tax refunds for tax reductions, but this year, a 2500.00 refund is a matter you will need to explain via paperwork and proper math. Most error are mathematical booboos.

Typical IRS scare tactics.
Since all the IRS rules are so arbitrary, contradictory and arcane, it's their primary means of ensuring compliance.

The average refund is $2200 heard on radio yesterday. They are then checking anything more than one sigma to the high side.

I'll bet the IRS drone MEANT to say $25,000.00. That would make a lot more sense. $2500 is way under the radar.

A little trick to avoid being audited. File in April. They only will audit so many returns that fit certain catagories. If the catagory you are in is full you slip by.

Our refund was over $2,500.00. We already got it, and spent it. We're getting a new roof.

What great news! This must mean that if you owe THEM money, they have to double check that, too!

Claim eight or nine deductions on you w2 so you don't loan so much money to the government all year and you won't have this problem... 8^>
'Course, you should only do that if you are sure you won't get caught under reporting by too much. There seems to be a threshold on both ends...

Please, please, please, redo your W-4. Divide your Federal tax bill for last year by 12 (or 26 if you are paid biweekly.) That should be about what you owe each month. Whether it's the deduction for kids or the mortgage interest or whatever it is probably going to be about the same this year as last. Don't try to use the Personal Allowances Worksheet on the W-4 - It just doesn't do the job. Simply put in your correct amount on line 6. Trust me, $200 more a month in your pocket will feel good - right now!
