So I get a letter from the IRS basically letting me know they are keeping HALF of my refund due to incorrect child tax credit info that had to have been calculated by TurboTax. I just went into my return and there is nothing I can see that is off. The exact language is:
- We changed the amount claimed as child tax credit for other dependents on your tax return because you either didn't enter an amount or entered an incorrect amount based on the number of boxes you checked on page 1 of your return. (249D)
- We changed the amount claimed as Child Tax Credit and/or Additional Child Tax Credit on your tax return because there was an error on Schedule 8812, Additional Child Tax Credit. The error was in one of the following:
- Computation of the credit on Schedule 8812
- Transfer of the amount to your tax return. (628D)
How can the computation be wrong? Other people would have reported this if it was wrong, and there is no way the amount was transferred incorrectly when TT did the transfer.... I only have one kid and I have always filed the same way each year and never an issue. Is this an IRS mistake? It's impossible to get through to them right now with everything going on. HELP! 🙂
