If hes married, looks like he qualifies for some more of the RRC. You input what he already got as an advance, right?
If hes single, he made too much money.
Did you complete the worksheet for this? Did you enter all of the other data correctly on the return in the correct locations?
If it is a MFJ return without children Based on the $177000 would've received $2250ish $1050 ($1050+$0) Based on the $157,000 qualifies for $3250ish $2900 ($2050+$850)
Edited to correct my math - geez I need a nap
This is a married couple. Yes I filled in the 2020 income according to the form. But in 2019 they made $20,000 more. They got a partial first check and none for the second. According to our program they are entitled to a credit of $1789. Is it valid?
So far all of the returns that I have completed, this calculation has been performed correctly for my clients returns....
"Is he entitled to the extra funds being calculated?"
Yes ---------------- as long as you have the correct amounts loaded in for what they received for the year.
This is meaningless: "But in 2019 they made $20,000 more."
Perhaps it would help to review what is really happening:
The funds were paid out as Advanced payment against a projection. The projection used 2018 or 2019 tax returns. But 2020 is the Actuals. You use the 2020 return to reconcile what a person is entitled to, against what they got.
