Finally Got ahold of someone at IRS!! 570/971 notice

I finally got a hold of someone at the IRS

Return accepted 2/11
ACTC
Had a baby in 2020
Filed with TT

According to the IRS there is a math error in my tax return. Upon inspecting my transcripts it appears that one of my dependents (the baby I had in 2020) is not listed, but IS shown on my TT tax return. Additionally, when looking at my IRS return transcript it shows a discrepancy of $1100. Basically it lists the refund as listed by my tax preparer, and the refund by “computer” and they are $1100 different.

I claimed the additional stimulus money for having a child in 2020 that we did not receive as part of the first two stimulus payments, in total $1100 on line 30.

The rep on the phone said due to the math error I would get an letter in the mail, or it would not be sent until 3/29. That is the date of my 971 notice. Once I get the letter I can then call a special number to get it worked out, and my refund would be available 4-6 WEEKS after that.

Has anyone else who had a baby in 2020, claimed the additional stimmy funds, and gotten paid without issue.

I think the issue is my dependent is not listed, but she said the transcripts wont be officially up to date until 5/23 and that is probably why I dont see him on there.

Excuse me while I rage at the computer.

You will probably get the letter before the date. I got a letter from the irs on the 12th but it was dated for the 15th

[They that wait]

Sooo i had a deposit date of tomorrow to receive refund was suppose to get in my account good thing i thought to call my tax preparer the irs put my federal and state refund in her account when it said on wmr it said direct deposit also she was having a fit the irs was not giving people they right amount of refumd they were way lower tjsn wjat they suppose to get this happened to thousands of her people they really droped the ball this year

Did anyone with these codes and date get stimulus? If you did what did get my payment say?

[Tony]

I don’t believe anyone is wrong by claiming a child, this lady clearly didn’t have all the information.

Just frustrating to have to wait when you did everything correctly.

[Felicia]

That is true. Whenever there is any discrepancy they have to send you a notice and give you time to agree or disagree. I was told the exact same thing. I also looked it up it’s called a CP 12 I believe. My situation is the same and the dates are the same. Except they didn’t say it would be sent that day they just asked if I got it.

I don’t think this is true about not being able to claim child born in 2020. I’m still waiting and had a child in 2020 BUT my sister did also and got her refund WITH the additional 1100.

I’ll be calling IRS tomorrow morning to see what they say to me , they also better explain why second stimulus was never deposited like first and now 3rd stimulus are depositing into same account but for some reason not the second one it was sent as a check that we never got and now all this shirt for their mistakes.

That’s ridiculous to issue a letter on 03/29 like 3 weeks wait for a letter, what are we supposed to do when clearly states on form line 30 to claim missing stimulus then how is that an error , they are having no clue what are they doing it’s their mistake , and to wait till May 23rd? Just so they can update transcripts blaming people for they own mistakes, they should have a separate form for missing stimulus it would be easier for them and us.

Ugh, that sucks. I have those same codes as well as the 3/29 date. There was a mistake on my line 30 where it said I claimed I didn’t receive $79. I see on my transcripts they corrected the amount but didn’t issue a refund yet. Hopefully they’re wrong and we won’t have to wait that long.
