IRS notice transfer error

Question

IRS notice transfer error

IRS says that form 8812 had an error in transferring Dependent Credit. It seems like TurboTax did make the error in transferring schedule 8812 Part I-A line 5. How do I correct this error or TurboTax calculation?

However for the tax year 2021, joint filer can claim both the Child and Dependent Care Credit (CDCTC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). I had one under age of 5 and one above 6. So that's $6,050. for AGI at$160,730 is reduced by $600. That is $6,050. I don't understand how IRS came up with a different number.

The Dependent care Credit was $2,500.

$6050 seems correct based in what info you supplied. However, did you get any advance CTC payments and were these entered on the 8812 - could be like 1/2 the max for 2021 or $3300 if so line 28 of your 1040 would only be $2750 (the advance was based on your 2020 AGI)

what number did the IRS come up with?

If Turbo Tax made a mistake can they help?

I saw the interest and penalty online for a date in the future in July. So I called IRS agent and was told of transfer error on form 8812.

line 28 says $6,050. Is odd! I’ll wait for the actual notice.
