Recovery Rebate form

There appears to be an error on the Recovery Rebate form.  The credit for dependents under 17 automatically populates.  However, I have two cases where the dependents are over 17, and it is still populating that field with $500 or $600 for the second payment.  It will then try to give the client that additional credit.  I have to go in and over ride this field to zero.

There have been others that had this problem too.   Try deleting the RRC Worksheet Ctrl+W,  it will then automatically repopulate hopefully with correct $$s.     I'll see if I can find the thread from the other post

Thanks, I tried that but it still did not work.  The only thing I can do is verify each one and change it if it is wrong.

I couldn't find the old conversation about this but let's ask... @Just-Lisa-Now-  do you remember what the other fix for this was?      I think it was deleting a dependent and re-entering.

Has anyone tried to get a refund or reduced price for next year's software because of this issue?  I filed a client's return and didn't catch this issue, now their refund is $1100 less than what they were expecting.  Ultimately I understand it's my fault for not catching the error, but I don't expect errors like this on such simple calculations!  We use software to make our jobs easier.  If we have to double-check each little thing we might as well be doing returns by hand.
