we can't see your return nor any notice that the IRS sent. what did it say?
Morning Mike,
Not sure how to attach a document but the simple version from the IRS.
Description Your calculations IRS calculations
AGI Line 8b $47,744 $47,744
Taxable income,
line 11b $35,544 $35,544
Total tax
line 16 $4,069 $5,728
Without more information it is difficult to determine what the difference represents. You could have lost some child tax credits if a dependent claimed themselves on their own tax return or was claimed as a dependent on another return. You could have additional self employment taxes accessed from a 1099-MIsc you included in other income. Look at the notice you received. If it has CP2000 in the upper right hand corner, the IRS is only proposing changes at this time but you have a 30 day window to respond to the notice before the additional tax it is assessed.
TurboTax has a audit support site to help you with any IRS notices. Additionally, if you purchased Max Benefits with your 2019 return you would have audit and IRS notice protection from TaxAudit.com. If you purchased Max Benefits, forward the notice to TaxAudit.com and they will work with you to get a solution. Either way TurboTax is here to help you with your IRS Notices.

The IRS usually sends a follow up letter explaining the reason for the change 3-4 weeks after the change letter. Usually because they added income that you failed to report of reported incorrectly.
I do have the IRS letter and as I referenced before my AGI did not change( line 8b), taxable income ( line 11b) did not change. The only change was Total Tax (line16 )
I tried TurboTax Audit Support and that got me no where, I just tried calling the IRS # reference in the IRS letter [phone number removed] x529, there isn't an option to go to x529 So that went no where as well.
There are several lines between line 11b and line 16.
For example did you have a Child tax credit on line 13 that they denied?
Did you have other taxes such as the SE tax of self-employed on line 15 from Schedule 2 (there could be several other things on Schedule 2) that you did not report.
All these things will change what is on line 16.
Without more information, nobody here can know what or way the IRS changed.
You could try requesting your tax transcript for that year. You can do this by following the instructions on this IRS link:
Thank you, I have already done that. Hopefully will receive later this week or next early next week

It’s for my stimulus checks that were supposed to come to me but went to my mother because the year 2017 when I was in jail she had clean my son but he has been with me I was told by Irs that it would just have to be submitted on my form and I will receive it with my refund
I need to know what that’s gonna cost me and if it’s just gonna come out of my return
@Aclimitless When you prepare your tax return for 2020, any stimulus that you are entitled to will be added to your refund. If your mother received any payments because she claimed your son as her dependent on a previous year tax return that will not affect your refund and she won't need to pay any of that money back.
When you prepare your tax return for 2020 in TurboTax, you will be prompted to enter how much you received for your stimulus and then the program will calculate the amount of stimulus due you based on your income, number of dependents and payments already received. If any additional stimulus is due you, it will be used to reduce your 2020 income tax liability, and the balance will be refunded to you.
You will see the options when you are done entering your tax information and proceed to the review process.
You can file a tax return in 2020 to get your stimulus check, even if you aren't required to otherwise.

Are you saying that both your 2019 and 2020 Federal tax return has been rejected? If so, an e-file rejection means that some things on your return do not match the IRS database. Try these steps:

If you have not received either or both of the stimulus payments, you will have to file the 2020 Federal 1040 tax return and receive the payments in the form of the Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of your tax return.
If you have e-filed your 2020 Federal tax return and the tax return is rejected by the IRS, you will have to correct the entries and calculations to receive the Recovery Rebate Credit as well as correct the entries that generated the rejection.
If you have not received your second stimulus check, you will receive your payment in the form of a Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of your 2020 Federal tax return when you file.
TurboTax will compare your one or two stimulus payment amounts to the computations within TurboTax. The computations within TurboTax are based upon the information that you have entered into the tax software. If you are due an additional amount, it will be issued as a Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2020 1040 tax return.
In TurboTax Online, you are prompted to input stimulus check 1 and stimulus check 2 information under Review down the left hand side of the screen.
You can access your stimulus check choices by following these steps:

This is the second year in a row that this software failed to provide my tax documents correctly. I have used TurboTax as long as it’s been on the market 15 years or more but you consider me as a “2 year” user. Efile for 2020 was rejected at least 4 times so I have to mail it. Last year same problem! Next year I’ll use another product.
Help with contacting the IRS has been provided by calling 800-829-1040.
I used TT Deluxe to efile my 2019 State Taxes. I received a copy of it staying that TT collected the efile fee, TT had processed them and I didn't need to file them via regular mail. To my surprise, when I am trying to file my 2020 taxes, CA Franchise Tax Board informed me that they NEVER received my 2019 State Taxes from TT. I need to talk with a TT representative to know why this happened, and TT filed them IMMEDIATELY and also pay for all penalties. I have NEVER be late filing my taxes every year. I trusted TT when I am filing my taxes. I have tried to call the TT customer service but the robot call is misleading my requests and I have to wait for a long time. When finally someone answered my call, the representative hang up or put me on hold and then hang up. MAY SOMEONE FROM TT CONTACT ME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM YOU CREATED WITH MY STATE TAXES? THANKS.
