IRS Accepted 2021 Return, Recovery Rebate Credit Issue, Adjusted Refund

My AGI was $152,428.00. TurboTax guided me through the return and computed line 30 of my return (Recovery Rebate Credit) $4256.00...which honestly seems wrong to me on the face of it, that should have been $5600.00... but it was filed that way.

 

We never received any of the advanced payments, just the first two stimulus checks. IRS.gov says we qualified for $2800.00 for the third payment (1/2 of $5600) but that didn't show up on my account until late December.

 

Filed Feb. 4th, 2022; accepted on March 2, 2022. IRS made a correction to our Recovery Rebate Credit and deleted the whole $4256.00. We were are expecting a refund, said our payment would be in our bank account by March 14, 2022, but our total amount was reduced by the whole RRC.

 

I realize we made more than $150k but we made less than $160k.

 

from IRS.gov

No credit is allowed when AGI is at least the following amount:

  • $160,000 if married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower
  • Married taxpayers who file a joint return that claims two qualifying dependents and an AGI of $155,000 will have a maximum credit of $2,800

If I'm understanding this correctly, our Recovery Rebate should have been adjusted to $2800, not 0. Is this correct?
