Why would Recovery Rebate Credit be eliminated after tax return was succesfully efiled?

After the return was successfully efiled, I went to open the return to print the efile acceptance form and a message popped up saying "ProSeries has detected that amounts calculated in this return have changed since return was efiled." When I display the change, it shows the entire $1,800 Recovery Rebate Credit has been eliminated. But there is no explanation as to why the Recovery Rebate Credit is being eliminated. Taxpayer is Single, turned age 24 on 7/1/20, has W-2 income of $25,000, interest income of $50, and is not a dependent and no one has claimed him as a dependent. I thought maybe ProSeries had an update that changed the Recovery Rebate calculation after I efiled. But that is not the case. I created a new return with the identical facts and the Recovery Rebate Credit is $1,800 and passes ProSeries review. Any thoughts as to what caused ProSeries to change the calculation of the Recovery Rebate Credit from $1,800 to zero after the return was successfully efiled?

I've had the same message on a few returns today after they have been accepted and I go back to print the Client copy. Nothing changed on the actual 1040 so i just thought it must be a glitch after today's update.

Whenever Intuit fixes one thing it usually breaks another thing, in my experience.

The only reason to have $1800 included in 2020 refund is if the taxpayer did NOT receive advance payments. Did you answer questions 16 and 19 on RRC worksheet ?

TaxGuyBill reported this problem earlier today. He said the return didn't actually change, the problem was just the worksheet and the erroneous message. YMMV
