US Principle Abode

To clarify, are you claiming a dependent on your return? This may have added another $500 to your refund as an other dependent credit.

I did the same things and then my amount due increased by $1100! What gives?

Okay well I filled married filling separately last year cause I was unaware that are marriage license wasn't documented found out just a few days ago they wasn't so now I'm filling singal with only one dependent but she not a child she is an adult

You may be able to claim your daughter as a dependent as a qualifying relative depending on her age.

Here is a TurboTax Help, Who can I claim as my dependent? Read this to see if you can file as head of household with a dependent.

-> Filing status is "Single" with no dependents. 

-> Letter 6419 Information unnecessary.

->.Letter 6475 also unnecessary.

It's all unnecessary. Unless you operate a TurboTax suck the life out of the poor folks who only want to free file their taxes.

The IRS has deemed the information completely necessary for 2021 as both letters apply to fully refundable credits.  You could have received Advance Child Tax Credit payments if you had claimed a qualifying dependent in 2020 even if you weren't claiming one in 2021.  Also, the 3rd stimulus payment can be claimed on your return if it was not received.  TurboTax walks you through the steps to confirm your responses so you get your returns filed accurately.  These items do not negate a simple return that was eligible to be free-filed if you filed prior to 3/31/2022.

You're kidding me. Take this job and shove it. If you had a real job, you would have received a salary, Maybe even a bonus. Give me a break!

Turbo tax walking me through my tax return is unnecessary. Certainly when it is filed and rejected. And my credit card has already been charge. TurboTax is a SCAM! Sucking the life out of the POOR people. People to poor to need a Tax Lawyer! Here's a Beetle quote: "I read the news today, oh boy/About a lucky man who made the grade/And though the news was rather sad/Well, I just had to laugh/I saw the photograph"

I am wondering the same exact thing.  I just got off the phone for over an hour with an Expert AND her supervisor as well and neither one of them could tell me how to get back to that question because I'm pretty sure I answered it wrong and don't know why it added to my refund.  But we can't find it.  Great. I hope someone can answer that on here.  I also don't understand why everyone keeps saying it has to do with the child tax credit.  This question had nothing to do with kids.  It was in the federal review part of the process, not child credits.   I'm so frustrated. :(

What does that have to do with living in Puerto Rico?  I am almost certain I answered that question about the principle abode wrong but no one has been able to tell me how to get back to it to change it.  I don't understand what those questions have to do with dependents.

TTI scam! 

[robertasherbrane]

My filing status is SINGLE + no dependents. The issue is TTIntuit sloppy computer programing code. I has something to w/ the IRS Letter XXXX, there are multiple. And this one is the EIP CV-19 $1400 money. But TTI just lets the IRS reject. and your state too. They don't refund eFile State (GOOGLE: TurboTax billing issue) fees. They don't care. So pathetic! Blood suckers
