Deductions & credits

@ssarfati Lots of people gave incorrect answers when they went through the recovery rebate credit section of their tax returns, resulting in a bigger refund showing on the Form 1040 than they were really entitled to get.   The IRS cross checks the recovery rebate credit on line 30 and when it sees that you already got money you said you did not receive, they recalculate and reduce your refund.  They will send a detailed letter in several weeks.
