@Brianp81 - the two errors that are being corrected the most (by far) by the IRS are the Recovery Rebate Credit (line 30) and the Advance Child Tax Credit (line 28) of Form 1040.
If you've been doing taxes for 40 years, I'll assume the issue is Line 30.
During the TT interview process, you were asked how much you received for the THIRD stimulus (received March - May, 2021). If your response did not match the IRS records, the IRS adjusted Line 30.
What made this more complex is that the IRS send out a letter to each taxpayer confirming how much stimulus they received. But if you filed joint, there were TWO letters, one addressed to each spouse, with half the money on each letter. In TT, you needed to ADD the amounts of the two letters together. If you didn't, then Line 30 was inflated, which inflated the refund and the IRS caught that error.
is that what happened to you?
