IRS Notice - Error in 2021 Form 1040

[bgavin]

I faithfully follow all the TT instructions, including the review.
I have all the stimulus documented, and records scanned to PDF in my yearly tax directory.
There is wide spread comments about this problem, including on the IRS web site, so it is a pervasive problem.

As a software developer, it is up to ME to make certain the user is presented with understandable instructions.
Since you did not fill out my return, you really are clueless how I responded or did not respond.
Posting the typical "user error" does nothing constructive except increase your post count.

"TT did not ask if we had received stimulus checks, "

Here are the  stimulus screens you see  in the program ... you were asked how much you actually  got  in advance ...  you had to enter the total even if you did not get one of those IRS 6475 letters ...

What exactly did they change ?   The stimulus credit ? 

A reduction in your refund for the recovery rebate credit is most often caused by user error---when you were asked how much you received for the third stimulus check -- the one for $1400 per person sent out from March to May last year----did you enter the total amount correctly?   Did you use the amount from BOTH spouse's letters 6475?   Or did you say you did not receive the full amount and thereby put an amount on line 30 of your Form 1040?  If you received the full amount already then your line 30 should have been blank.   There should only be an amount on line 30 if you did NOT receive all of the 3rd stimulus.

Does the IRS show that you received a $1400 per person stimulus or EIP check in 2021?   Did you receive it?   When you were asked on your tax return did you say no?   Was there $1400  per person on line 30 of your tax return?

If the IRS says you got $1400 last year but you did not receive it you can have it traced.

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.
