Your ranting post makes very little sense, but I suspect that you chose to pay your TurboTax fees from your federal refund and now the refund has either been delayed or seized by the IRS for back taxes or child support you owe.  If that is what happened, the IRS will be sending you a letter to explain why your refund was offset.   If you chose to pay your fees from a federal refund, you also signed and agreed that if your refund was not issued or was delayed, that TurboTax could take its fees from your account.       TURBOTAX TOOK MONEY OUT OF MY  ACCOUNT Did you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund?  Is your refund taking an unusually long time to arrive?  Or was your refund seized to pay a debt you owed? if so, you signed an agreement that says TT can withdraw its fees from your account.  TurboTax would have sent several emails to you before they took the money out of your account.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/bank-account-auto-debited-turbotax-fees/L3rDdVynu_US_en_US?uid=m6bdgedq   TURBOTAX SAYS: How do you justify debiting my account? The provision is spelled out in the Pay With My Refund Agreement, which you agreed to when you opted to pay with your refund. In addition, by clicking the "I Agree" button below, you electronically sign and authorize Intuit (through its third party processor) to debit the TurboTax Fees, Additional Products and Services Purchased and any applicable sales tax from your bank account number identified in the Agreement below, in the event that you do not receive a tax refund that is sufficient to pay for them.       How can I see my TurboTax  fees?      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k        

Am I understanding your situation correctly?  If I am not understanding correctly, please advise.   You are a resident of state A and you own one or more rental properties in state B, a nonresident state.  Some portion of your rental proceeds have been reported to you on an IRS form 1099-K.   If the above is correct, state B has a claim on the rental income within its borders.  State A will also claim the rental income as your resident state.  State A may allow a credit for taxes paid to another state.   You may consider reporting the IRS form 1099-K within the rental activity.  You may consider reporting under Cash, check, and electronic payments rather than Form 1099-K if you believe that the entry is disrupting your tax return.     @PhyllisRollins

 You do not get earned income credit for Social Security benefits.   Earned income credit is only given for income earned from actively working.    And.....you have mentioned "inflation adjustment" again---what are you trying to do?  There is no inflation adjustment to your refund. 

What did you do with the money?  Did you roll it over or did you cash it out?  If you rolled it over, then it is not taxable, however, you need to tell TurboTax that you rolled it over.  You will be be asked as you walk through the questions after entering the 1099-R what you did with the money.  Here you can answer that you rolled it over, then you will be asked additional questions and this will be removed from taxable income.   If you cashed it out, then you would be responsible for the taxes on it. If you are under 59.5, then you would also be responsible for the 10% early withdraw penalty.   Benefits paid to a spouse or former spouse. Benefits paid under a QDRO to the plan participant's spouse or former spouse must generally be included in the spouse's or former spouse's income.

I was issued the 1099 because I paid his tuition and fees, then reimbursed myself for the costs after the fact.  So I was the recipient listed on the form.    He goes to community college and lives with us, so there is no housing option. We pay all his expenses while he lives at home.  He only worked a part time job and had W-2 income of a little over 4k, and he already filed his return because kids are impatient.     So, now I just want to get my taxes filed and done with, but its so confusing and I am terrified of the IRS.
