We efiled last year and put our children's birthdates in correctly and all of a sudden the state is saying we owe them money for a child tax credit that we got when we shouldn't have.  I want to know why Turbo Tax gave us the credit when it states clearly that we shouldn't have and now we are being penalized and required to pay 414 with a 200 interest and penalty fine.

    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)
