I got a tax topic 151 which I know what that is but will they hold my entire refund or give me a partial that was not affected? The affected part I’m sure was my step son

[JakeDs559]

It is true causes they wanted me to prove dependents and that my kids live with me I got  1040 forms they sent me ,and on the the site its says being under review topic 151

[JakeDs559]

Basically yes did u get the 1040 froms with ur letter cause I did

When huh owe from unemployment, your federal tax is not effected by it, only your state tax return can they touch. 

[JakeDs559]

Did you ever got a letter before seeing that ?

[Martina75]

Some are under review, which do not require to send supported documents and some are under audit, which will usually require supporting documents. 

[Martina75]

Yes they sure can, if your supporting docs do not show that the dependent you claim is blood related or related by law. It’s part of the tax hike act on the new TCJA law that the orange & bananas guy signed in 2017 Partly went into effect in 2018 and then entirely in 2019. It’s all trumps fault!!! Yet he can’t show us his tax returns for scrutinizing!!!

[Martina75]

For adopted or foster child dependents they’ll require birth certificate and a legal decree stating the legal arrangements to support your claim. 

[Martina75]

The health insurance is not the issue this year, because they removed the mandate on this requirement. It’s no longer part of the law to have health insurance starting this tax filing year (2020) for income tax returns earned in 2019. 

[Martina75]

If they request proof they’ll need all 3 birth certificates of the people you stated on your post, plus your marriage certificate that proves you are related to your your dependent(s) by law. Plus they want residential proof which you can ask the school for their profile sheet, which can only be given to the parent on their profile, or legal guardian which is on the students profile, and schools usually require ID from person requesting it, and in person hand off... 

[Martina75]

Yes... I noted it on a few comments before this one. 

[Martina75]

we have all required docs faxed, but haven’t heard anything from irs. 

[Kslagirlz79]

Finally got my letter and they wanted all the proof for eic child tax and hoh! I faxed everything in the only thing I had issue with was with hoh which bc I rent from my sister but she didn’t want to write anything up about me paying rent bc it could affect her insurance on her property! So I wrote and signed in front of a notary saying I rent from my family and my child’s father payed half the bills thay we lived as room mates and that we have not been in a relationship in 10 years I wrote out how much each bill as and how much he paid 

towards each one thay he pays half

the kids expenses and he has lived with them all year and now that he moved out last month the girls know live with him m-f so basically both me and him signed our agreements in front of a notary in hopes they would be enough if not then we will have to amend it to filing single I guess ! But we got the school and medical records and birth certificates etc showing he shared the address all year with them and that he pod half the expenses so that was like two weeks ago when we faxed it maybe 3 weeks ! Still heard nothing back from advocate or irs so freaking out rn bc this money is the only way we will survive being out of work
