So this is stressful. TurboTax 2020 would not allow electronic filing if you had pass through tax credit. So…rather than waiting (supposedly many extra months if return mailed in) , I said to heck with it…I need my refund and can amend down the road. So, 6 months after electronic filing, still no refund. Now I think I have no choice but to file an amended return claiming my pass through credits, plus apply my refund to 2021. It will require being mailed in. But irs website has a note to not file amended return until refund received. I do not feel comfortable sending in additional estimated tax when they owe me over 10k not including the other credit that I did not claim ( only to expedite my refund is why I did not claim it.) Any ideas? I will be filing an extension again. I had sent in more than usual as I had sold a condo, so have to pay capital gains and a small amount of recapture tax. I don’t have the funds to send in additional taxes at this point. I don’t have retirement to speak of…just my rental income. Now if you try to check on the wheresmyrefund it is addressing only 2021 returns and says that there is no information available for your 2020 return.
