Good afternoon ma'am
I've asked this question in a different post, but I didn't get much traction, but I found this post and it seems to be the same scenario. I work in a Air Force Finance office and we have a member who paid a debt he should never have gotten due to an error in our accounting system. DFAS(Defense Finance and Accounting service) said they can't refund and instead issued a tax certificate with the amount($963). This tax cert is for calendar year 2018. Would the member just file an amended tax return with the tax cert? Can you explain how the process would work in TurboTax? And would he get that all that money back or just a deduction? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
