2nd Stimulus payment

I did not include my 2nd stimulus in my taxes and indicated $0 for the second stimulus because I actually received it on 1/4/21. I now know I should have claimed it. Do I need to file an amendment? It is taking way longer than usual to get my Federal Return back so I assume something is being reviewed. Is it possible and hopefully they will check and see that I received the 2nd stimulus and will adjust my return accordingly?

The IRS might actually adjust the amount claimed on your return. If not, you need to amend the return. Wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects your return.

If the IRS rejects your return, you can make the changes and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. Then you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in.

In TurboTax, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. Select Show and then select Amend (change) return, and then Amend using TurboTax Online. (If you don't see Your tax returns & documents, select Tax Home on the left.)
Select the reason you’re amending and follow the instructions

Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return will be available on 03/25/2021

Ok, thanks. At this point it just says "accepted" and I have not received a refund yet but the state return came back already which is never the case. So I just need to wait it out for now, correct? I appreciate this assistance.

Yes, you are correct you are just waiting for the IRS to process your return.

Here is a link to monitor for updates on the Recovery Rebate Credit. The IRS may update this page once they decide how they will handle this very common situation.
