Deductions & credits

@haberlachl Lots of people made mistakes with the recovery rebate credit.   They somehow forgot that they already received the $1400 stimulus checks and then said on their returns that they did not get it.  So it ended up as a recovery rebate credit on line 30.  But the IRS knows if they sent it to you.   TurboTax has no way of knowing if you did or did not receive a stimulus check----it was your job to know and enter that information correctly.   The IRS checked returns with amounts on line 30.  If you already had received the $1400 per person then they reduced your refund.  You cannot get it twice.

 

Check your online accounts with the IRS.  If you think you did not receive the $1400 per person in 2021 you can have it traced.    Check for each spouse.

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund
