From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 17 17:05:38 2023
I helped a relative file a tax return for 2020. After IRS wrote her
about changes (because we deliberately claimed a larger Refund Recovery
Credit than she was entitled to as we couldn't find the paperwork on the
actual payment she received), I ordered a tax return transcript.
She's over 65 and the box was properly checked. The transcript says
"no". It would be nice if the date of birth could be entered and IRS
would remember it for future tax years.
No Schedule EIC was filed but somehow there was an entry on the line
"Sch EIC disqualified income computer", which I've never seen calculated
on other transcripts.
Any number of other amounts are off by $1 because they rounded
differently than I had.
The letter gave her a certain amount of time to respond. That deadline
is now past. But the details in question weren't on the letter. If
there's a reason to write back (because it increased her tax liability
which I don't think it does), does that deadline still apply even though
the inapplicable items weren't listed in that letter? I really don't
want to file a 1040-X for this purpose.
