IRS Changes to my tax return

[alherb]

I filed my taxes on April 15th. On August 30th, I received a letter that my. return was being adjusted based upon several conclusions that were made. While none of what was stated seemed to apply to me, the last was that my returned was computed incorrectly, I didn't compute anything, Turbotax did.  I just updated my software to be sure I was not missing somethings. Turbotax STILL reports the identical tax refund figures. On September 6th, I wrote to them requesting that they reconsider their findings. 

As of today, I have not received a response to my letter nor any change to my requested REFUND.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to how can get more information from IRS other than my outstanding letter to them?

TurboTax has no way to know whether you received the 1st and/or 2nd EIP payments.   When you prepared your tax return you were asked in the Federal Review section if you had received those payments.   If you said you did not receive the payment(s) then the stimulus payment was put on line 30 of your tax return as a recovery rebate credit.  The IRS cross checks every return with an amount on line 30.  If the IRS sees that they already issued the EIP payment(s) to you then they adjust your refund.

Check your IRS account---does the IRS say they sent you a payment that you did not receive? (If you filed a joint return you need to check for both spouses.)   If so you can ask for a trace to be put on the payment.

If you were issued a payment and have not received it, see How do I request a payment trace to track my first or second Economic Impact Payments?

The IRS calls any error in a tax return a calculation error. That doesn't mean that TurboTax calculated anything incorrectly. Most likely there was an error in the input. TurboTax does its calculations using the information that you enter. If the input is wrong, the result will be wrong. The calculation was done correctly, but used incorrect information.

You haven't said what the IRS said was wrong in your tax return, or what they adjusted.
