Tax refund is short!!

[graciegee]

Turbo tax says on multiple posts they are aware of the issue yet nothing has happened! My refund is short -1517 and no one can help me EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE

and i can’t get a human on the phone!

@graciegee   We do not know why yours was short.  It might not be the same issue they know about.    

The 2 most common reasons this year is you entered the wrong amount on line 30 for the Recovery Rebate Credit (3rd Stimulus payment) or line 28 for the Child Tax Credit.  Those lines are just if you didn't already get the full amount or qualify for more.  The IRS knows what they already sent you.  

A lot of people answered the questions wrong and tried to claim the credits again.  Double check your bank statements to see what the IRS sent you during the year for the 3rd Stimulus payment and Advance Child Tax Credit .

It’s happening to thousands of people. Im in a group on facebook + so many people complaining about the same thing on twitter. Tpg also has many lawsuits against them because they are a not so great company. Something shady is going on.

Same here. After Turbo Tax extortion of $110ish (give or take), once I receive my refund I was shorted over $1000. And that is AFTER turbo tax's fees. Odds are I won't be using turbo tax again. This needs corrected.
