Return wrongly calculated

nbarzaga — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 14:32:59 GMT

The IRS calculated our income much higher than TurboTax which changed my refund from $2451 to $291. My question is how could TurboTax miscalculate the social security income on our return?

Please clarify the problem:

Did you get Social Security?
What is your age?
Did you have other income?
Did the IRS give you more detail?

There were some people...earlier this year, who accidentally indicated they were living in a country with certain tax agreements, whereby your SS wouldn't be taxed by the IRS...but by the country you live in. There is a follow-up page where you may have quickly flashed thru and accidentally hit the wrong button where it asked

" Are you a U.S. citizen living abroad in one of these countries?"

The only other thing I can think of is if you missed entering some of your Tax-Exempt income from state "Muni" bonds that ends up on line 2a of your form 1040.
