Deductions & credits
The advice given in these messages and in TurboTax appears to completely contradict the IRS Q&A guidance on the IRS website:
What can I do if someone else claimed me as a dependent in 2020 and I did not receive the third-round Economic Impact Payment (updated March 25, 2022)
If you were claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return for 2020, you were not eligible for the third-round Economic Impact Payment. If no one can claim you as a dependent for 2021 and you are otherwise eligible, you can claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, and must file a 2021 tax return to claim the credit.
My daughter has already filed her return erroneously based on the Turbotax, my son is the one that found the above guidance stating that you could not essentially "double-dip" the Recovery Rebate. Now what happens when my daughter gets fined/penalized for following TurboTax guidance on her return?
