After you file

I received $600 less than expected aswell. Snd I don't owe any back taxes. Seems like alot of people are having the same issue.


$600 happens to be the amount of the second stimulus payment (EIP2) for a single filer.   So maybe it's related to that.  Did you claim a Recovery Rebate Credit of $600 on your return when you had already been paid for a $600 stimulus payment?  Or perhaps received a $600 stimulus payment soon after filing your return in which you claimed the Recovery Rebate Credit?     Is there a Recovery Rebate Credit figure reported on your Form 1040, Line 30?  

 

The IRS should send a letter in about 3 weeks or so explaining why they reduced your Federal refund, and if you disagree, what your options are.
