This is EXACTLY what happened to me. Amending my return, not only caused a delay in receiving my unemployment tax refund, my refund amount was reduced more than $1000 from what it should have been and the IRS rep I spoke to bluntly told me that I shouldn’t have amended. As if I was being penalized for doing so. On top of this, I didn’t receive the first child tax credit payment that went out and while I did receive the next two, all of a sudden, my status is back to pending eligibility so, I didn’t receive October’s and November isn’t looking very hopeful either. The IRS is basically like, “you’ll get what we feel like giving you, when we feel like it”. They don’t care if they miscalculated nor do they intend to provide tangible evidence to support their calculations. If they’re wrong, so what? Turbo Tax, you truly suck! I hope you lose so many customers that you go belly up.
