I completed his taxes with TurboTax, but was waiting until April 15th to pay. When the announcement came out about the change, I filed a 1040X with TurboTax and mailed a check for the updated amount. It is the only payment made. I did pay by check, and do have electronic access to the "canceled check." It appears that they calculated the tax without taking the $10,200 deduction into account. Since I can't reach anyone at the IRS by phone or electronically, is the only option paying the amount and keeping our fingers crossed that they eventually refund it? Should we file another 1040X? Thanks so much for your help!
