Thanks for your posts. I just found out on August 18 that this is the same reason that I have not received the stimulus payment for me and my two children. I have used turbotax for years and never checked the box that my spouse could be claimed by someone else as a dependent.
Even though I called before, no one at the IRS told me until yesterday that this was the same reason that I didn't receive the payment and that it was an error on their part. The representative seemed concerned, but said he was not aware of a process to correct it. He said he would file a referral regarding the error, but it could take 30 days to be reviewed and even then I may not receive anything because there is no process and would need to wait until filing taxes next year. Wow, they make a mistake and our family has to wait in this very difficult time. It's so frustrating that neither Turbotax nor the IRS have resolved this problem even though it appears from these posts that it is a known issue. Not sure, either, that the same problem wouldn't happen if there is a second round. This is very sad and disheartening that paying customers and citizens are left out due to their error, but I still hope that something is done soon.
