Every time I request a line-by-line review of the Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet, I'm either denied by the agent or get disconnected in way or another. I want to know why my numbers don't align with their numbers... if the tables were turned, they'd have sent me a notice and be demanding payment!!
Unfortunately, if you claimed X qualifying dependents and they revised it down to X-1 qualifying persons, and reduced the payment by $1100, that is probably not something you can recover by filing an amended return, because whatever they thought was wrong the first time will still be wrong. (You could try filing an amended return and maybe get lucky with the person who processes it. But you would have to make manual adjustments in Turbotax--if your return is correct in Turbotax, you won't be able to automatically prepare the amended return.)
The Taxpayer Advocate office exists to help people like you, assuming they actually perform the job they are chartered to perform.
