Anyone else get screwed over by turbotax messing up line 30?

You're not the only one, TurboTax entered a number on line 30 and yesterday I got a letter from the IRS, they want me to pay $351 plus interest and penalties. I entered the actual amount of stimulus received. 

Yes!!! For the first time ever (I’ve used TT over 10yrs) , husband and I OWE taxes—-WITH 2 dependents , making under $150k! I recall TT asked separately, Did ‘Jane’ receive letter 6475? Enter the amount____. Then it asked: Did ‘John’ receive letter 6475? Enter amount____. TT said we were getting $1876 back. We filed! Now, IRS said miscalculation. Line 30— in my taxes, Line 30 says $2100. IRS omits $2100 from Line 30, changed the refund amount and now, we owe $224???? Wth?!? We are pissed!!!! What’s that all about?!?? Plus we made $6k less! Super frustrating! 

I will NOT be filing with TT anymore! 

You are correct. I have used Turbo Tax since 1996 after spending 20 years doing my taxes, as well as family member's , by hand. I would get the IRS update booklet each year, study it, and complete the tax forms.

However, for me, this year, 2022 for 2021 taxes, Turbo Tax was disappointing. I gave it a 0 rating. When I entered numbers from 1099 forms and later reviewed my entries, they were wrong. This kept happening. It took me three frustrating days to do my taxes.

In addition to that, there were the fees, one of which I had no problem--$60.00 Defense in case of audit. The $25.00 plus tax, I have paid in the past to transmit each returns. This year, for me, there was the extra $23.11 to pay my federal taxes online and $40.00 to process my State refund. 

TurboTax miscalculated the tax I owed from Lines 24 (total tax) and 32 (total payments and other refundable credits).  Due to TurboTax's error, we owed $23.00, and the IRS said because the amount on Line 32 was wrong, we will not get the rebate recovery.  We did not receive a third stimulus, so we were eligible for the rebate recovery credit of $2800.  TurboTax's error cost us a lot. 

yes, I have been on the phone for hours today and prior day, where the IRS hung up, because they are too busy!

I am now sending in documents to show that I did not compute my taxes improperly. But not our state refund is being held up. 

Yes, indeed!  Having used Turbotax for YEARS, I am now questioning whether or not I should keep using it.  The IRS informed me that I owed them more money due to the miscalculation of line 30, which, was an automatic calculation by Turbotax on the worksheet.  There should have been a flag to note the Recovery Rebate Credit not available if your AGI was over so much, which mine was.  It never said that anywhere on the worksheet.  How is a person to know?   

I am very unhappy about this.

Yes, TurboTax also messed up the line 30 entry for the Recovery Refund Credit.  The specific error was made on line 12 of the credit worksheet.  It specifically states that line 8 should be multiplied by line 11, but the program failed to perform this step and simply entered the line eight amount into line 12.  Line 12 on my recovery worksheet was zero.  If the multiplication had been done as required on the worksheet, it would have clearly indicated that I was not entitled to an additional Recovery Refund Credit.

Now I am sitting here looking at the $1400 (plus penalties and interest) bill from the IRS.  I wonder if TurboTax would acknowledge its obvious error an offer to cover my penalties and interest.  I can’t seem to find anywhere on this site where I can report they made an error and request compensation.

Yes .  My refund reduced by amt on line 30. 

Yes, & because of them I got screwed out of $1200.

My refund has been held up on my 2021 taxes because my return was being checked for accuracy. So I've waited and waited and still the same message about my refund being delayed, blah blah blah. So I decided to do some research as to why this may be, because our joint return was super simple for 2021! Just a couple of 1099's basically, so I'm like accuracy?! Then I realized that I had not entered the $2800 on Line 30 for the third stimulus payment! I don't think we ever received IRS letter 6475, giving us instructions for our return. So, I had forgotten all about it and there is no amount entered on Line 30. So, I'm assuming this is what's held up our refund this year? And I don't remember TT asking me about this stimulus payment either. It says Do NOT file an amended return with the IRS. I'm wondering if this happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do or should do? I'm supposed to get a refund and I've read that receiving that third payment should not affect my refund amount. I'm hoping that is true?
