I just received a letter from Kansas, my state of residence. They apparently audited our 2021 tax return. The letter references the error. Apparently, and let me stress we have never itemized, we have always gone with TT's recommendation for the standard deduction, Kansas is saying we took a $1.5 MILLION itemized deduction.
Again, we've always selected the standard deduction. We don't have the audit defense bc our taxes are always so simple.
How on earth could this happen??? We didn't manually enter 1.5 million!! We haven't ever made enough money to itemize or even owe any taxes. So now we owe over a thousand in penalties and fees alone. Has this ever happened to anyone?? Can TT even do anything?
