Thanks so much! As life would have it, my refund showed up the next day. However, it was $2,000 less than what was expected. I got a new high efficiency heat pump last year that promised a $2,000 tax credit, maybe the IRS didn’t like it? I haven’t received any communication from them.

@BillM223    Hi Bill, That makes sense, and I will definitely save all my math and documentation. I'll also show this thread if anyone asks anything. 😃 And before I submit the second form for $1.25, I realized there is a timeline gap in my Worksheet 1-3 calculation that I need your advice on. My $1.25 calculation is based strictly on my last official statement ending 3/31/2026. However, the $4,300 wasn't actually removed until 4/13/2026. (I had submitted the excess removal form on 3/31/2026.)   Here is the timeline of my confusion: Period 1 (Sept to 3/31): Earnings (interest) calculated exactly via statements and Worksheet 1-3 up to 3/31/2026= $1.25. Period 2 (4/1 to 4/12): The $4,300 was still in the account. Do I also need to calculate the interest it made during these 12 days? Period 3 (4/13 to Future Processing Date): The $4,300 excess is gone, but the earnings are still sitting there. Do I need to calculate the interest the remaining balance generates up until they process my second excess removal form? My dilemma: If I have to include Period 2 and Period 3, the calculation becomes tough. I would have to guess the Average Daily Balance and my variable APY for April without actually having my April statement yet. Because of this, is my $1.25 calculation strictly "incorrect"? Does the IRS expect me to do this complex mid-month math to capture the amount from Period 2 & 3, or is using the end-of-month statement prior to the withdrawal the standard, acceptable way to handle this?   Is there an easier way to get this final number without having to guess my Average Daily Balance and APY for April?   Thanks again for sticking with me on this. 🙂
