Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The IRS corrects the stimulus credit in both directions as long as you asked for any amount of the credit on the return.   We have been using the $1 trick successfully and it works everytime when the client could not remember how much (if any) of the stimulus credit they got in advance ... doing so made the IRS check that credit automatically.  

 

$1 trick explained :  If the RRC was supposed to be $1400 then I indicated they got only  $1399 so $1 showed up line 30 of the form 1040.  This  forced the IRS to double check it so if they did get all $1400 then their refund would be adjusted to  $1 less which the client would not even notice or $1399 more making me the hero.  😉
