After you file
You were entitied to EITHER the Stimulus or the Recovery Credit, but not both.
There was a point in the interview process where you were asked how much you received in stimulus.
The calculation of Line 30 (the Recovery Rebate Credit) is totally automated in TT, with one exception: how much you already received from the stimulus
The calculation of Line 30 is simple: # of people listed on your return times $1400 LESS what you received for the 3rd stimulus (paid by the IRS between March and May, 2021), but not less than zero.
if you underreported what you received in stimulus, the IRS adjusted your tax return to match their records.
the software wasn't in error, unless you failed to enter how much stimulus you already received
Also, and many missed this, if you were filing "joint" there were TWO Letter 6475's sent out - one to each spouse. You were to add the amounts from the two letters together, otherwise, you under-reported what you already received
does that help?
