QUESTION
What will happen to the anticipated refund to owing due to erroneous dependent information?
Asked on Jun 16th, 2013 on Taxation - Missouri
More details to this question:
My expected 2012 federal refund turned into a balance owed because of an error in dependent information. (Misspelled last name and wrong ss #). After further review, my 2011 taxes had the same erroneous info. I owed in 2011 and this wrong info wasn't brought to my attention, but it's interesting that I was due a refund this year and they reversed it and then brought this error to my attention. Can this info be amended, or whatever, to get this switched back over to a refund status?
