TurboTax error of $6414.
Filed my taxes with the 1040-SR. TurboTax said I was getting a refund of $7313. I thought that was a lot, but figured that extra $6,000 Senior deduction was the difference. Today I checked, and the IRS amended my return and is sending me $894. Called the IRS. Turns out TurboxTax said I owed $0. taxes on my $37,000 SS benefits. Looked on the SS worksheet, and TurboTax entered the $37,000 on line 1b - "Benefits exempt from US tax due to living abroad..." Checked my profile which says I lived in NC the entire year. Tried to call TurboTax to report this. Got a woman who sounded like she was just waking up from a nap. Said she needed to transfer me to auditing, but there was a 40 minute wait.
This is a really sloppy error.
