Hello Everyone,
I wanted to provide some information for those who have been waiting on this years tax refund and have been unable to contact the IRS.
I was able to get ahold of the IRS and speak to a live person. They stated my return was in the errors department due to an issue with line 30 on my tax return. Line 30 is the Recovery Rebate Credit line. TurboTax automatically calculated this amount based on the number of dependents entered. Due to this, they calculated the wrong amount on my return. I had a child in June of 2020 and TurboTax automatically calculated my rebate amount for him to include all stimulus payments from last year- which was incorrect because he was not born and alive for the first stimulus.
The IRS stated that they will correct this error on their own and I should receive my refund within ten weeks of the date it was accepted. It is approaching week ten this Friday. They said there could be an additional delay as well because they have millions of returns to continue processing.
If you claimed a Recovery Rebate Credit this may be the same issue you are having with your return/refund as well. Sit tight- it may be a while.
