@jpgeeee You mentioned getting the advance child tax credit payments---you should have entered the amount from your letter 6419 for the advance payments, and if you also received the 3rd stimulus payments you needed to enter the amount from letter 6475.   If you did not enter those amounts, or if you entered incorrect amounts, the IRS will catch the mistake but your refund will be delayed.

@frankbaldwin53 You need to enter the amount from your letter 6475 in the Federal Review section for the recovery rebate credit.    That letter tells you how much you received for the 3td EIP payment.   You cannot get that payment twice, so you have to enter the amount you received.   If you do not enter it, or enter an incorrect amount, it will delay your refund.

Yes, you need to report the amount you received for the third stimulus (2021 Economic Impact Payment) on your tax return. You enter it in the Federal Review section.

 

In TurboTax Online, please do the following:

  1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
  3. On the next page titled Did you [or your spouse] get a third stimulus payment?, answer Yes or No
  4. Follow the interview and answer all questions
  5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

I am using the PC version of Turbo Tax this year (not the on-line version) and I cannot find anywhere to enter the information from Letter 6475 - Economic Impact Payments.  I do not receive the question: Did you [or your spouse] get a third stimulus payment? after clicking on Federal Review.  What do I do in this case?

If your Adjusted Gross Income on the 2021 tax return for your filing status is more than the maximum allowed for the Recovery Rebate Credit the question for the stimulus will not be presented.
