Letter from IRS

[moeglo9000]

I received letter from IRS stating my Recovery Rebate Credit was incorrect because either

SS# was missing or incorrect

Last name didn't match IRS records

Exceeded age limit

Adjusted gross income eceeds $75,000

Amount computed was incorrect

IRS says I owe $491.00

That is a generic letter that lists several possible reasons.  Are you sure you didn't already get the stimulus #3 back in the Spring of 2021?  Lots of folks forgot, and claimed it again.

Hello,

No I am not 100% sure. I checked all my deposits into my account and didn't see anything. It would have been $1240.00?????

Thanks!

So when my taxes were computed they were incorrect? Not good~!

It appears you claimed the stimulus and the IRS says they sent it to you. You’ll need to file form 3119 to trace the payment they sent.

It may not have been that same amount as you have on line 30 ... look for a deposit from the IRS for  "EIP3" starting in March of 2021 thru the end of the year.   It is possible that you got more than one deposit so review the entire year.   Also check your account transcript on the IRS website to see how much was sent and when ...

If you did not receive $1,400 for the third stimulus payment, the IRS may think that you were already issued the third stimulus payment.

At your IRS online account, you can find whether a payment was issued to you that you did not receive.  You can also find this information on your tax transcript.

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.
