Please Help: 1040 Adjustment (CP12) for claiming Recovery Rebate Credit but we qualify
Hey Everyone,
We never received the 2nd Stimulus payment of $1200.
So we filed with TurboTax, Married Filing Jointly, with a tax Federal refund of $167 and claimed the $1200 rebate credit for a total of $1367.
We filed and it was accepted on 13 February. After a month we figured something had gone wrong.
Almost 2 months later on April 08, we finally received a CP12 Adjusted Refund Letter stating our refund will only be $167 with the reasons being either:
- The Social Security number of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent was missing or incomplete (We have no dependents and our SSN was correct on the 1040)
- The last name of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent does not match our records. (We have no dependents and our last names were correct on the 1040)
- 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) (Our AGI was only $26,276 and all of our calculations matched the CP12 notice)
- The amount was computed incorrectly (Used Turbotax so it should have been correct but double checked with the 1040 Rebate Credit worksheet and it adds up to the $1200)
I checked my IRS account and it shows the $1200 for the 1st Stimulus and $0 for the 2nd.
I have tried calling several different numbers (including the [phone number removed] number included on the CP12) to no avail. It always says something about call volumes are too high and disconnects. We don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance
