When I completed my taxes, TT calculated an EIC amount of $179. However, the IRS held my return for several months and paid my refund minus the EIC.

You should receive a letter from the IRS explaining why they changed your refund. The letter may take several weeks after you receive your refund. TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS after you file your return, so no one at TT knows why they disallowed the EIC.

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."
