There was a a checked box on my 1040 that should not have been checked. The box noting that "Someone can claim my spouse as dependent". I only discovered that this was checked when inquiring with the IRS regarding my Stimulus payment. They said I was ineligible because that box was checked. I had noticed that it was also checked the previous year I filed with TurboTax, but I never checked this before. This was nothing that I checked myself, but somehow it defaulted or some such thing, now I'm out $1,200. The IRS claimed I could be credited next year, but had no idea of how that would be done or what I would need to do to obtain it. If anyone could shed light on this for me, please let me know. Thank you.
