I filed my tax return on April 3, 2021, but only now have the IRS results, which claims that:
1. The SSN of one of us 2 filers was "missing or incomplete".
2. That a dependent doesn't match their records (it was just my wife and I filing jointly).
3. That the dependent exceeded the age limit.
4. That my adjusted gross income exceeds the $150,000 for filing jointly.
5. The amount was calculated incorrectly.
My return from CA cleared through without a glitch in just a couple days, but my Federal return was dropped from $4277 to $3327 costing me $950!
When I submitted my information prior to sending it in to the IRS, you cleared it saying it was without error. The only thing I can think of was some checker thought my wife (whose name is Michael) was my son! I would love to have my return rechecked to ensure it was 100% accurate and legal?
That sounds like the list of generic reasons they give if they changed the Recovery rebate credit on line 30. How much is on 1040 line 30?
A common adjustment is if you claimed the Recovery rebate credit on 1040 line 30 when you already got the Stimulus payment or got the second one after you filed or reported the wrong amounts or entered the wrong amounts in the 2 boxes. If you entered the total you got for both rounds in the same box it would think you didn't get the other one. The IRS knows how much they already sent you. You might have tried to claim it again on line 30.
