I know what the error is, I did not enter the amount of my employer’s contribution to my health savings account, which when I check in TurboTax makes my refund amount about $430.00 less than what was accepted by the IRS. The rep told me that it was in their errors resolution department and there was an error that was being fixed, he was unable to confirm that the HAS amount that was missing was the reason, but this was the only problem with my tax return, oversight on my part. Now am I going to have to submit a 1040x with the correction or will the IRS be able to fix it and still deposit my return since they have record of my W-2 and what was missing? If so what kind of turnaround should I expect. This has caught me completely off guard. It has not been rejected so do they typically fix these types of error internally and submit the refund or do I need to provide them with something by mail?
