Received a check from IRS after we had to pay taxes?

[browneiis]

Is there stimulus check that we are not aware of?

[xmasbaby0]

There are no federal stimulus checks for 2022.   Did you pay some estimated tax and forget to indicate it when you prepared your tax return?  TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your return, so only the IRS can explain to you what that check is for.

To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

Was it a lot?  Did you have a penalty on 1040 line 38?  They may have reduced or eliminated it.

[browneiis]

Yes line 28, it was not a lot but will take any return after having to pay.

[browneiis]

sorry I meant line 38
