my wife and i never got our last stimulus checks. the irs would have snail mailed them to us, since they did not have our bank information. when turbotax asked if i got them. I said no. and entered zero. I finished my tax forms, and it showed I would get a refund. I then electronically filed .
a few weeks later I get notified of a deposit. I look at it online and see that it is much lower than what TT calculated!
Then about a week later I get this letter from the IRS stating they adjusted our return because there was a mistake. Basically I think they removed the $2800 from it. BUT we never got these! i even checked all my bank accounts!
when I look at TT help it shows that if you make less than $160k then you qualify. we had a combined $151k so TT added in the $2800. However! on the letter I got from the IRS, it clearly states that if you make more than $150K then you do NOT qualify for the stimulus money. thus the reason they removed it. Or, they think we already got the money...
So, bottom line, is Turbo Tax have a math bug in their calculations???? or is the IRS wrong? as the IRS thinks we got the checks! but we did not, so either they got lost, or stolen. I would call them, but sitting on the phone on hold for 6 hrs is no joy.
advise?
