Q: How do I dispute an adjusted refund amount for my 2021 filing?
The reasons listed in my refund deduction notice were:
* The Social Security number of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent was missing or incomplete.
* The last name of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent does not match our records.
* One or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent exceeds the age limit.
I did not claim a dependent and this is reflected in my 1040 filing for 2021.
I have attempted to resolve this directly with the IRS via certified mail and phone. Neither has been successful with many attempts over the past year.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
A: A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Your question probably went overlooked under the Arbitration/Mediation Law category. There's a section for Tax Law. Try reposting there. Good luck
