eic

[Spacer124]

Tax return was recieved to my bank on Feb 8th. Feb 21st I recieved ,"may be eligable for a refund EIC". No idea why this didnt show through turbo tax when I completed it. I completed the paperwork and it was mailed in. How do I know the status of this updated return? Does anyone have this experience?

If you answered all of the questions accurately and you qualified, Turbo Tax would have included the Earned Income Credit to your refund. Perhaps something was missing in the return.

 I have never heard of the IRS giving a refund out and then a few weeks later requesting information to give an additional refund. Make sure you mailed it to an IRS mailing address and that you did not include information they did not already show you in the letter. Meaning, if there was no social security number in the letter, do not give it to them.

Did you get a letter from the IRS or email or what saying "may be eligible for a refund EIC"?  From the IRS or Turbo Tax?  Did it say anything else?  

What paperwork did you fill out?  Was it a 1040X amended return?  And where did you mail it?  I worry it may have been a scam.
