Hi Catina! Thank you so much for answering!
The IRS Caught the mistake and fixed it but after speaking with them today, my account has been placed on hold until they send out a notice notifying me of the math error and that they have corrected it. Once that is sent, I am to wait another 7 days (ex: 3/22/21 + 7 = 3/29/21) before they will start the refund release process. Here is what I don't understand: When I was going through the questions/prompts in the Turbo Tax software, it asked me if I wanted to defer my self-employment tax that was due to the IRS. I selected "Yes" because at that point, It was being estimated that I would owe. Once I got to the end of everything and was ready to "review and submit," I was not prompted or advised that I would not be able to defer the payment (which was $183). This was my first time filing self employment so not only did I not know you couldn't do that, I completely forgot I had selected that. I would've changed my answer to paying the $183 with my refund. Why didn't the software catch that error or at least revisit that choice when I reached the "review and submit" section? Why didn't it just automatically change the answer since you can't do that.....isn't that a software flaw? Please advise.
