We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I filed my taxes and they were accepted. IRS is now saying "We changed the amount of taxable Social Security benefits to correct an error in the calculation reported".

There is a question that comes up after you enter the Social Security income that asks whether you (or your spouse) were US citizens living in certain foreign countries.  If that question was answered with 'yes' by mistake, then your Social Security will not be included at all as taxable income.  This could be the reason that the correction is being made by the IRS.

If your tax return has been accepted you might also be able to access your transcript from the IRS now. This will allow you to compare the transcript with the return you filed.
