I just finished my joint return and was happy to be getting a refund due to the recovery rebate credit.
I sent it off to the IRS but this morning, woke up thinking something was wrong.
We received the full stimulus amount in 2020 but $0 in 2021.
Turbotax said our recovery rebate credit was $1,400 which I accepted as being correct and I e-filed yesterday.
This morning, I decided to try the TaxSlayer online system just to see.
TaxSlayer calculated it at $2,800 ($1,400 EACH).
Now, I have to contact TurboTax to find out why this happened and suspect that I will have to send an amended return (which I cannot do until mid March because the 1040x is not available yet) which by the way, with the way the IRS is operating, will mean our higher refund amount will likely sit in a queue somewhere.
If I don't get a satisfactory response (incl a refund of the fees paid to Turbotax), next year might be a year to try TaxSlayer.
