@MaggiC and @Lynnette1 The IRS said it will fix tax returns to correct amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit. After making the correction, the IRS will continue processing your return. If a correction is needed, there may be a slight delay in processing your return and the IRS will send you a notice explaining any change made.
The IRS says to expect delays. The IRS budget and staffing is down about 20 percent during the last decade – meaning the IRS has 20,000 fewer people available to help on tax season and other issues.
If there is an issue with a tax return that requires additional review, that can add time for some taxpayers, but it varies depending on the issue. Many factors can affect the timing of a refund. Common errors the IRS is seeing this filing season include people not reporting their Economic Impact Payments accurately on the Recovery Rebate Credit line. Tax returns with an error, incomplete information or those affected by identity theft or fraud may take longer to process. If more information is needed to process the return, the IRS will send the taxpayer a letter with a request for information.
