Retirement tax questions

When TurboTax asked for the amount of the second stimulus check that you received, you should have entered $600, even though you received it in 2021. If you didn't enter that amount, it would be included in your refund as listed on your tax return, but the refund amount would be wrong, so that is why the IRS removed it. So the balance due of $265 is correct based on what you described.
