After you file

Well first, I don't know if this happened to anyone else so I can't make that claim. Second, the Turbo Tax person I spoke with was very sympathetic to my situation and did agree to mention this to her supervisor to maybe avoid future questions like this one. Bottom line, I'm responsible for making sure I do my taxes on-time and correctly, so when I saw the $1,400 credit on line 30 I should have questioned why that was and investigated it. I send the correct amount in to the IRS which is always a good thing to do...
