So I called IRS today and was literally on the phone with them for 2 hours. Not only was the name situation with DD messed up, our tax lady punched in her SS# wrong and we didn't catch it!
So she said IF it makes it through all the check points, we should be receiving a paper check for the difference in about 4-8 weeks.

Oh ya and it was "too bad-so sad" for the stimulus payment. We just have to accept a lower amount. Oh well. The IRS lady said there's a chance that there MIGHT be a line on next year's taxes where you can claim that you were shorted money due to an adjustment, but basically don't hold my breath.

When you owe them money they hound you and when they owe you they take thier dear sweet time.Frequently Asked Questions
Who is likely to receive a tax refund this year?
Individuals who have had more taxes withheld from their paychecks than what they owe in taxes for the year are likely to receive a tax refund. Additionally, those who qualify for tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit, may also receive a refund.
When can I expect my tax refund?
The timing of your tax refund can vary based on how you filed your taxes. If you e-filed and chose direct deposit, you could receive your refund in as little as 21 days. Paper filings may take longer, often several weeks or even months.
What factors can affect the size of my tax refund?
Several factors can influence the size of your tax refund, including your income level, filing status, number of dependents, and eligibility for tax deductions and credits. Changes in tax laws and your personal financial situation can also impact your refund amount.
Do I have to pay taxes on my tax refund?
No, you do not have to pay taxes on your tax refund. A tax refund is simply the return of your own money that was overpaid throughout the year. However, if you received certain tax credits or deductions, you should ensure that they were claimed correctly to avoid any future tax liabilities.
Can I track the status of my tax refund?
Yes, you can track the status of your tax refund through the IRS website using the "Where's My Refund?" tool. You will need to provide your Social Security number, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to get the latest updates on your refund status.
