Deductions & credits

@AdrianAlbrecht   If you got a stimulus check after March it was probably for the 3rd stimulus (1,400 per person).  That didn't go on your 2020 tax return.  Only the first  2 payments are entered on your 2020 return.  

 

So you got the first 6k refund plus another 1.7K?  Did you have any unemployment?  There was a change for unemployment.  If you filed early before the exclusion, the IRS will recalculate your return for the new 10,200 unemployment exemption for you. There is no need for taxpayers to file an amended return unless the calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return.

 

Then what are you still missing?  Or are you saying your refund went from 6K down to 1.7K?  How much is on 1040 line 30?  Why do you need Audit Defense?
