MaryM428. You seem to know a lot. "In some cases, TurboTax started your return with the amount of the stimulus payments added to your refund. " Q: In some cases? (you're busted)
"If you already had received your payments and then answered had received both stimulus payments, then Line 30 changed to zero," I am going to complete your sentence: "Except when Turbotax erroneously entered a number in Line 30 anyway."
Got it? Tubotax entered numbers in Line 30 for many taxpayers who answered that they HAD received both stimulus payments. That's a FACT.
To IRS, this looks like a tax return that is negligently claiming false credits. It is their obligation to single it out and review it. If I were prioritizing who gets their tax refund the fastest, it wouldn't be taxpayers who are trying to claim false credits... Just sayin'. The problem is, the taxpayer didn't do it. Turbotax did.
