I got a tax topic 151 which I know what that is but will they hold my entire refund or give me a partial that was not affected? The affected part I’m sure was my step son

[King67]

@Cranman Do we have to send in all those documents or just one of the following you named ?

[Cranman]

All. For each child too. That's if you carried more than one

[dgooden90]

@King67 no I haven't received nothing in mail only a partial payment 

[dgooden90]

@Cranman ok I have my lease and ssc will those two work?

[Cranman]

No you need birth certificate(or pertenity test, or note from the person saying that they allowed you to carry the child IF you qualify to carry the child), school records(proving the child has lived with you at the same address have on the tax return for more than 6 months), lease with your name on it, Utility bill with your name on it. This need to be had for each child that you have carried.

Anyone else get their notice from the irs?

A lease is a rental lease and you can have school or medical records

My tax Advacate said my mom can't write out letter saying I can claim nephew's and I claimed them last two years

[dewilson2023]

@King67 No, Tax Advacate had to tell me what was on it. IRS said mailed February 17th

[dewilson2023]

@King67 yes they did

[dewilson2023]

@King67 There is no law any more saying you have to have health care. Trump got rid of that 2019

So we have called the bureau that has the offsets and we called the irs to make sure nothing was owed ! Was told nothing was owed ! Called the irs and was told it could mean they just need supporting documents bc the last three years my ex has claimed our two daughters and gotten the. Eic and child credit ! This year we got the take action on wmr with tax topic 151 ! They only gave us what he would of gotten without the kids ! So they said a letter was sent out a couple weeks ago still haven’t received it ! Called irs back yesterday they said the letter was sent March 3rd so idk! B it every thing I have read this means the irs is gonna send a letter with proposed difference? Then u see it could be that they just want the supporting documents ? What do they generally want to prove he is entitled to those credits I mean his address is same as the kids and he is on school forms and doctors forms for our two children ? He pays child support and has them half the time ! So has anyone gone through this and it hasn’t been some sorta offset bc we called all offset people and they have us owing nothing !  So Idk I hate the wait ! I want this letter already bc my anxiety is high so I’m hoping someone who has dealt with this and still got their refund after they sent the portion without the credits can tell me I’m not looking at losing 9 grand which is what supposed to go towards buying a stable home for our kids :(
