IRS deducted my Third Stimulus check payment from my Taxes using a CP12
In early February I received a form letter 6475 reminding me to ask for my THIRD Economic Impact Payment - If I had not received it. I used Turbo Tax Deluxe which asked me to confirm that I had not been sent my third payment. I filled in the required information and the $2,800.00 was added to my refund. I just received my refund check (Minus the $2,800 amount) and a IRS form CP12 telling me I had a math error on my return. They simply removed my Stimulus amount and then claimed the discrepancy as a math error. My copy of my return which was filed electronically, contains the "Schedule 3 Work Sheet" which is required for documenting the line item on line 30 of the 1040/1040SR.
It appears, to me, that the IRS is intentionally stealing money hoping that can get away with it!!
