Hello, filed my taxes and filled everything out as normal. I didn't notice until after my taxes were done that it marked that my spouse can be claimed as a dependent. I did not mark any of the boxes that would imply that. I see that this is a glitch that was happening with TurboTax. What do I need to do to get the amendment done on these taxes? It is unacceptable that I am not able to get a stimulus check due to an error that TurboTax is allowing in their software/GUI. It looks like the glitch was happening back in 2018. Without prior knowledge of the glitch how would anyone know that this is happening. We are married filing separately. It was not something that we had noticed until the stimulus check stuff started happening. Either TurboTax owes our family $1,200 or we will be joining one of the class action lawsuits.
This is being investigated but we don't have a resolution. It's not the sort of problem that can be fixed by amending, because it won't change your tax owed or refund due. As best we know now, the stimulus will be recalculated on your 2020 tax return and if you are due a payment that you did not receive, it will be added to your refund.
