The IRS incorrectly made changes to my tax return that reduced the amount of my refund in the amount of $1,200
Can TurboTax look into this?
The IRS changed my 2020 tax return (married filing jointly) resulting in a $1,200 reduction of my refund as calculated and verified by TurboTax Home and Business. This is the exact amount of the second COVID relief deposit. My guess is that the person at the IRS who reviewed my return saw that my AGI does exceed the income limit of $75,000 for individuals, but failed to notice that my 1040-SR form was checked "Married filing jointly." This is an obvious error made by the IRS.
Background:
I E-filed my taxes on February 2, 2021 using TurboTax Home and Business. The refund recently appeared in my bank account marked "Pending March 10."
The IRS stated under the Details of my return status that the reason for changing my return was one of the following:
• The Social Security number of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent was missing or incomplete.
• The last name of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent does not match our records.
• One or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent exceeds the age limit.
• Your adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 if married filing jointly, $112,500 if head of household).
• The amount was computed incorrectly.
