Turbo Tax miscalculation

[Ellie0211]

My social security taxes were miscalculated by Turbo Tax.  Are they responsible for the payment the IRS is asking for?

No, but if there are any late charges or penalties you can file to have those paid.

TurboTax will reimburse you for any penalties or interest that you had to pay because of an error in the TurboTax calculations. Go to the following link to submit a claim. You are responsible for paying the correct amount of tax.

Do you have an amount on 1040 line 6b or is it 0? What usually happens is the IRS changed some other income on your return. Like the taxable amount of a 1099R you got or you missed entering some income. Like if a 1099R got entered on the wrong line 1040 line 4 or 5, the IRS would miss it and think you didn’t report it. By increasing your other income it made more of your SS taxable.

There is a new question this year asking if you lived in a foreign place. People have been answering it wrong or skipping it. Go back through the Social Security entries and check, check for each spouse if married. If the IRS adjusted your return you do not need to amend.
