After you file
Unfortunately, TurboTax cannot provide you with any useful information regarding a tax return that has been accepted. If you filed early and claimed the recovery rebate and then received payment, it only seems logical that the IRS would review your return. Some people that qualified for the recovery rebate did not claim it and some people claimed it early and then got a check a few days later. I realize this does you no good this year, but I always try to encourage taxpayers to file as late as possible as the IRS almost always makes changes mid-season.
There was another change made Tuesday (just 2 days ago) regarding AGI and the UE exclusion which will affect thousands of returns that have already been filed. Please see this discussion that details how to work the telephone system prompts to get to a live agent at the IRS. https://intuit.me/2NMQfZ6 @Jdmcass77
There is no glitch with TurboTax and Line 30. TurboTax calculated the amount of stimulus payments you qualified for based on what was entered on your 2020 tax return. Then TurboTax asked you to enter the amounts you received from both payments. If you were shorted, the missing amounts were entered on Line 30. If you received the full amount or more, then nothing was entered on Line 30. @Bill140
I am certainly not accusing anyone here of committing fraud, but you have to be aware that fraud does exist and the IRS in an effort to combat this, reviews returns. Many people claimed that credit as they should have only to receive the stimulus payment days later. All we could do was to advise them to do is wait, but in those cases, a delay in processing is almost guaranteed. They are reviewing recovery rebate claims, some are legit, some are honest mistakes, and some are just not valid. Thankfully or should I say hopefully, this is not a normal tax season.
They continue to issue stimulus payments and tax refunds daily and we are communicating all guidance received to our customers. Keep this link as it is updated continuously. It does not give information about processing tax refunds, as that procedure is the same as it has always been but it does detail issues regarding the latest legislative changes.
