I wasn't trying to deceive them. It's the wording that leads to misunderstanding. How are stimulus and Recovery Rebate Credit the same? The credit you pay back and stimulus is tax-free. So if they had it on record that I received $1,400, why would they add it to line 30 and deduct it? Isn't that their job to correct it, not penalize you as if you received it twice. It appears that I'm not the only one who has made this mistake. I just entered basic that what was on my W-2. Turbo tax did the rest.
