Recovery Rebate Credit

My refund was changed. Saying this. My daughters name and social is correct so I dont understand.

We changed the amount claimed as Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return. The error was in one or more of the following:

The Social Security number of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent was missing or incomplete.
The last name of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent does not match our records.
One or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent exceeds the age limit.
Your adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 if married filing jointly, $112,500 if head of household).
The amount was computed incorrectly.

If you received a correction or an offset from the IRS, you will need to reach out to them directly for further assistance. Please see the Help Article here for more details in regards to refunds being less than expected. Also, to reach out to the IRS directly, please see the instructions below:

IRS

IRS: 800-829-1040

Hours: 7 AM - 7 PM, local time

Monday-Friday

Listen to each menu before making the selection.
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.
Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent.

If you haven't already done so, you may want to try calling right when they open since they have been very busy throughout the day.
