After you file

@cgav96 - some suggestions

 

take a look at your transcript at IRS.GOV for both 2021 and 2022 to see what happened.  That may make things clearer to you. 

 

I am a little confused about what you are actually complaining about..... so a few questions

 

1) what was the refund (be exact) you were expecting from the tax form your submitted?

2) how much did the IRS adjust that by - be exact

3) what is on Line 30 of Form 1040? 

4) did you receive the 3rd stimulus payment between March - May, 2021  Check your bank account closely before responding.  do not do this from memory. 

5) On your transcript, do you see a credit for $1400 in March, 2021 - yes or no.

 

responding to my questions and reviewing the transscipt may create a simple path forward
