Single, No dependents, No spouse, did not file previous year.
I received the $1400 and stated that. and i haver two letters from IRS stating so, and i went on line to check as well. I was due in excess of $850 refund, and several thousand State, ( many medical Bills paid last year) So if you take $1400 and subtract my $850 deduction, it Miraculously equals the amount I now owe them. >>
doesn;'t make sense.... in your scenario, TT would have calculated you were due $1400 (I am assuming your income was less than $75,000) and if $1400 appears on Line 30, the only want that could occur is if you really didn't enter the $1400 in TT.
Did you go back into TT and confirm that you really entered the $1400 where required? Did you enter it in the correct field?
Remember, TT calculated the Benefit automatically (in your case $1400) and subtracts what you entered and places the difference (but not less than zero) on Line 30
