    For back taxes?  What year?  If it's for 2020....

    A common adjustment is if you claimed the Recovery rebate credit on 1040 line 30 when you already got the Stimulus payment or got the second one after you filed or reported the wrong amounts or entered them in the wrong box.  Do you have an amount on line 30?

    If the letter about back taxes is for some other past year:

     

     

     

    I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE

     

     

    TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.

     

    (what the letters from the IRS mean)

    I GOT A LETTER FROM THE IRS
