Thanks @BrittanyS for responding so quickly, even though I’m finally getting around to reading the responses. I don’t know if I understand what you’re suggesting I do though……my return has been ACCEPTED. I’m currently in the waiting game of “Let’s start processing the returns with the EITC” phase. Are you saying wait until I receive my refund THEN go into TT and amend the caregivers social? I have zero problem with that I just need clarification if that’s your advice please. It’s nerve wracking enough to sit and wait for the EITC returns to begin being processed but to also not know how to handle my mistake. Also, I have another question maybe you can help me with…..when I go to the IRS. Where’s My Refund” app I type in all the pertinent info and typically it comes up with everyone’s favorite 3 section bars: Return Received, Return Approved, and Refund Sent. Well mine doesn’t have bars, it comes up with:
“According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue refunds before mid-February for tax returns that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. This applies to the entire refund, even the portion not associated with these credits. Check Where's My Refund in mid- to late February for your personalized refund status. It's updated once a day and remains the best way to check the status of your refund.
Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information
Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit the Refunds page on IRS.gov. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.”
YET!! My when my son logs in , literally on same phone, with his info he HAS bars!!
Is there any significance there or is it just some are given A screen and some are given B screen?
I appreciate your help….and the fact you read all of my post. 🥴😬😉
