Please help! My tax return is too high and I don't want to be audited.

Hi,

My 1040 form must have some mistake on it somewhere but I can't figure out exactly where, and as a result, my Federal and State returns are far too large. I want to amend or fix it somehow before the IRS gets involved and I get audited, which will inevitably happen.

 

I spoke with a representative from TurboTax today after being redirected from TaxAudit (I had left them a message and they called me back). She was unable to help me, but sent me some documents, which basically say that I must wait until March 26th to make any amendments, but at the same time, after completing my eFiling, TurboTax said that most people receive their returns via direct deposit (the option I selected) within 21 days. March 26th is well beyond 21 days since I filed and I don't know what will happen until then. 

 

I also purchased MAX protection in the case of an audit so that I have representation and support if I need it, but I am hoping to take care of this before that becomes necessary. I have never been audited and don't want to be blacklisted by the IRS.

Thank you.
