Filed 02/13. Today FINALLY see DDD on WMR. Reduced by >$1200

[I sincerely hope lots of others got good news, too.]

Soooo…I goofed line 30 using TaxAct, leading to week after week of no info, no progress, and even a touch of anxiety (damn taxes).

I filed/accepted February 13th. A Saturday, IIRC. Two days later on Monday, despite the holiday, I was able to see that the WMR tool showed “accepted”, TT152, etc. All good. And then, nothing changed.

After almost 14-days of no progress on WMR (I was/am aware the tool had/has issues) and reading through threads w/ you good people, it came to mind that perhaps MY line 30 was filled out incorrectly by the tac software. Turbo Tax had done that to a LOT of people, w/o their knowledge.

Sure enough. An extra $600 was claimed on my behalf by the TaxAct website. Oh, well, I thought. I didn’t realize TaxAct had actually claimed $1200 too much. Money that I’d already long prior received, and wasn’t entitled to.

At first, I checked 2-3x/day. Then once/day. Then, every couple day…and finally, just on well-known “update” days, like Wednesday and Saturday for we lowly weekly updaters.

I didn’t even bother this morning because honestly, I didn’t really need the letdown. So I went to check after dinner, and I did a triple-take looking at the screen. They actually did SOMETHING!

That ‘something’ was to recalculate my refund, minus $1200 and change. The notice said,

“We made changes to your tax return that changed the amount of your refund.”

…followed by a rough direct deposit date; I believe it was the 31st of March. Whatever. I’m actually so damn glad to just be through w/ this ordeal.

Mostly, I only wanted to post to hopefully give some hope to any people STILL waiting. Things ARE slowly working in the background.

Hang on and pretty soon your turn will come.

If line 30 said 600… Where would you find that they placed 1200 ???

Why was it reduced? You got the stimulus and weren’t supposed to or Tax Act messed up? Just wondering so I can know what to expect. The stimulus was not supposed to affect refunds from my understanding.

Thanks for giving me hope. Mine was accepted 2/14 and was filed through TaxAct, as well.
