My wife and I filed jointly as soon as we could once we got our W2's. We got the state money back just fine, but we were supposed to get back $4,836 in federal and only got back like $1,987. We couldnt speak to anyone from the IRS no actual person would answer. We couldnt call Turbotax either then i saw on tiktok people were having the same issue. We are missing $2,849 from our taxes, hopefully someone can help us.
2,800 could be for the 3rd Stimulus payment. Do you have an amount on 1040 line 30 for the Recovery rebate credit? Did you not get the 3rd Stimulus payment? Or qualify for more? Line 30 is only if you didn't get the full amount or qualify for more.
If the IRS thinks they sent it to you but you didn't get it request a trace for a missing third Stimulus payment
My line 30 of my 1040 says 2,800 but i did not receive any stimulus checks for 2021. What does that mean? What should our next step be to do? We are very new to taxes and its our first year filling jointly so any help is very much appreciated.
Did you or your spouse get the 3rd Stimulus payment? It was 1,400 each. Did you get any letter 6475 from the IRS saying how much they sent? Line 30 is only if you didn't get the full amount or qualify for more. So if both of you didn't get the 3rd Stimulus payment then 2800 is right for line 30.
But if the IRS shows they sent it they will take it off your return and reduce your refund or send you a bill.
