I filed an amended return back in May because TurboTax sent me an email saying I needed to because I was now eligible for the EIC due to the unemployment tax break. I just checked the portal and “where’s my amended refund” says my account has been adjusted and I even had a deposit directly to my bank account from the IRS. Except the direct deposit amount is only half of what my amended return amount should be (per TurboTax form that I filled out) and I was under the impression that amended returns were paid out by paper check only? Will I still the other half to equal the full amount of my amended return as a check in the future? I am confused on what’s going on and would really appreciate any insight.
Example amounts to better explain:
Amended return amount (5/2021)that was given based off TurboTax filing $2000
IRS direct deposit amount (7/2021) $1000
Will I still get the other $1000 as a paper check? Did Turbo Tax mess up the amount for the amended tax return? Did the IRS get the return amount incorrect?
