IRS additional payment

Just notified by IRS that I underpaid by $600.00 due to filing error based on TurboTax.  What went wrong?   It was bad enough that for the first time I not only did not get all my Fed withholding back, but owed them even more.  How can I contact TurboTax directly to find out why?

The $600 could be the Recovery Rebate Payment- if you claimed you did not received the second stimulus but you did or did not qualify, the IRS adjusted the tax returns.  Since the $600 paid your tax due, that is why you are short.

Because I didn't receive my $600.00 stimulus debit card till early Jan. 2021, I officially had not received it in 2020.  As far as I can tell, my 1040 facts are true, and the IRS is saying my filing is false.  Is there anything that TurboTax can help me with in this matter, or am I stuck with having to pay the adjusted $600.00  balance?

If you received the payment once, you can't get it a second time. 

You'll have to pay it back.
