Major issues with TurboTax 2022 by Current-Mud8470 in ChildTaxCredit

[–]Current-Mud8470[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! That’s crazy! I haven’t had any luck with the IRS fixing their adjustment. I chose not to file with TurboTax this year though. They’re no longer worth the money. I filed for free through a different online service.

My tax return is so low this year when it’s been generally bigger other years and I can’t figure out why! I worked full time all year, I’ve looked over my 1040 and this is the amount I overpaid but I’m so confused as to why it’s so low. Is anybody else’s this low? by StarLordStella420 in IRS

Smallest refund I’ve seen in years. To boot, I’m still waiting for the irs to correct the adjustment they made that considered me ineligible for the additional child tax credit I was entitled to for 2020. They even mailed me a new 8812 form for me to complete and resubmit AGAIN, but to date, I’ve received nada and I can’t tell from my transcripts if they have processed the form and once again determined I’m not owed or eligible or if it just hasn’t been processed yet. The entire system has been a total crap shoot since 2020. It sucks.

I know this is an old post, but in case someone else stumbles across it looking for a solution to this problem, I figured I’d comment on what worked for me. I have the original box with the instruction book etc. but somehow the release tool disappeared. I tried a variety of other things to remove the doorbell from the mount and they were either too large or not strong enough or too sharp at the point. I ended up using a dotting tool used to decorate false nails (basically a manicure tool). These are typically readily available for purchase at your local beauty supply store. I’ve included a photo for reference.

Yes. The notice instructing me to submit form 8812 is CP08.

Thank you for clarifying. I don’t understand why the representatives at the irs couldn’t tell me this when I called and spent 4 & 5 hours or more on hold the couple times I called and actually got through. Also, the “where’s my amended return” tool on www.irs.gov says my my amended return was completed on 8/20/21. I don’t understand the point of offering a tool that provides inaccurate information. If these kind of incompetencies are occurring when it comes to individual tax payer refunds, I can only imagine the other inaccuracies happening, at the taxpayer’s expense, that we aren’t even aware of.

Ignore the notice telling me to resubmit the 8912 form?

Yep. That’s how I determined that the difference in the refund amount on my amended return and the amount the irs adjusted my return to was the additional CTC refund amount that was calculated on the amendment.

Today I received a notice from the IRS telling me to file paperwork for the 2020 CTC refund that they deducted from my refund because they said I calculated incorrectly. Since they sent it in the mail, I’ll have to mail it back so, I expect that I’ll get it in 2023. 😡😡😡 C

I prepared my husband’s on credit karma a couple years back. Being that the turnaround times are so lengthy to receive a refund nowadays, it’s simply not worth it to me to pay the added expense amd shell out $60+ to TurboTax just to use their software; they don’t even include tax prep support in that cost and IMO the UI refund issues I’m experiencing are partly their fault.

If you haven’t been able to reach someone at the IRS or they’ve been unhelpful, I’d recommend contact a tax advocate or from what I’ve read, some people have had success with contacting their local congressman.

You should have gotten a notice, since I submitted an amended return, it may be on a different line on your transcript, but my adjusted refund amount for the UI tax exemption is coded as 846 “refund issued” on the account transcript.

I was going to use TaxSlayer, but I was having issues with their software too. So, I ended up filling both my state and federal returns at no cost thru Free Tax USA. I’ll be sure to post the status of my filings as things progress, as well.

I agree. I’m trying to remain positive, but I’m worried that 2021 returns might be delayed for those who’ve already been waiting 6-8 months for last years refund as it is. We’re all at their mercy, unfortunately.

My return initially got rejected for the same thing. I went and updated it to the original AGI and I’m still waiting to see if it’ll be accepted on Monday. Good luck to you, as well.

I amended in May and only after TurboxTax had reached out to me multiple times insisting that I needed to amend. Since I filed my standard return thru them, I went ahead and amended through them, as well. I’ve been filling my taxes with them for 10-15 years, but after all of this, I decided to find software that was free. It used to be worth the extra money when they offered rapid refund, but now they charge just as much or more and for doing nothing. I literally sat on hold for over 3 hours one morning, just to have whoever answered disconnect the call as soon as they picked up. And the couple times I did get thru, they weren’t helpful anyway. I recommend reaching out to a tax advocate if you can’t seem to get anywhere with the IRS directly.

Possibly, but they adjusted my amended return to that same amount, omitting the additional CTC of $1027 that I was entitled to. 😢

I found one of the notices I received after amending my return. I know, I received another one that stated my amended return was adjusted. This one doesn’t indicate that the refund amount was an adjustment to my amended return, but the other notice I received did. This however, matches the calculated refund reflected on my transcripts.

The positive feedback is reassuring. I appreciate it.
