Question

Hey all- I'm confused by this notification- our taxes were filed Feb 12, and accepted feb 12. We just got this notice with our return slashed in half?

We changed the amount claimed as Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return. The error was in one or more of the following:
The Social Security number of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent was missing or incomplete.
The last name of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent does not match our records.
One or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent exceeds the age limit.
Your adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 if married filing jointly, $112,500 if head of household).
The amount was computed incorrectly.

Wait for a letter from the IRS.  They do not notify TT, but perhaps their records indicate that you had already been sent the stimulus.  How many dollars did they adjust?

We marked that we'd received the stimulus payments, but we went from 6017 to 3817

The IRS site is confusing ... the only thing on that "list of possibilities" that applies to you is the last one ... they corrected your "math error" which is what the IRS refers to when you have the wrong amount on line 30 of the form 1040. 

 

So the change is $2200.  Did you enter the correct amount of stimulus you got in advance in the program ?   If you got it all the line 30 should be zero or blank.

It's called boilerplate, or a canned message.

aka generic message.
