TurboTax provides "do-it-yourself tax"  software.    Or did you use "Full Service" and have your return prepared by a tax expert?   

 

A LOT of people made big mistakes with their 2021 tax returns.  Many of those mistakes were related to the recovery rebate credit and/or the child tax credit.   

 

What does your IRS letter say the problem(s) is?  TurboTax uses the information you as the user enter -- the calculations are based on your information.  TT cannot check to see if you entered information incorrectly, left out income, or entered income in the wrong place.  Most errors are user errors.

 

 

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)

AUDIT SUPPORT

 

TurboTax has a special phone number for help with IRS/state tax letters, which will be easier than going through regular Customer Support.   At the page below, click on the blue button that says "Get Help from TurboTax Support".  Then it will ask you what tax year is your letter.  Then it will ask you what the letter concerns. Then it will show you the phone number during posted business hours.
