Miscalculation of 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit - TurboTax Make it Right
My family situation: Married Filing Jointly, 1 dependent (born 2019, so on the full year 2020)
When I entered in the amount of stimulus my family received in 2020, I put in the following information
First-round: $2,900
Second-round: $1,800
(screenshot from today)

After clicking "Continue" I see the following message:
Incorrect rebate amount
Note that TurboTax says I received $4,100 in payments, thus giving me a credit of $600. Simply adding my first and second round payments, though, gives me $4,700 in payments (which would result correctly in no credits). There is clearly something wrong with the calculation of this credit; my question is what is TurboTax going to do to make this right? My refund (which luckily I still get a refund instead of an unexpected tax bill) has been in limbo for 4 months (and counting) because of this calculation issue. At the very least I'd like to request a refund of my filing fee for the delay and inconvenience this has caused me and I'm sure countless others.
