I filed with TurboTax - I claimed the 2021 $1400 stimulus credit which I had received and had a letter from the IRS supporting it (letter stated same yr, same amt as claimed).
I got about $1345 less in my refund than expected and received a letter from the IRS saying there was an error in my 1040 in the area of my Recovery Rebate Credit- that either my soc sec #, my last name, my AGI exceeds $75,000 (which it does not) or the amt was calculated incorrectly. They then show my calculations and theirs and there is no difference between the two! The logistical info is the correct since I have already received my (amended) return.
The letter says to contact the IRS by a phone # but it always says it is busy “to call on another business day” even if I call one minute after it opens in the morning. There is no specific help on the website - “call representative for help in this area”.
I have checked numbers and such for fraud and these are the real deal.
I can’t reach IRS to discuss and there should be nothing wrong!
Suggestions? Thx.
