Already filed taxes, did not report stimulus from March 2022; should I amend?

elfhoes · ‎February 17, 2023

We received a small stimulus ($204) in March 2022. It was a direct deposit and forgot all about it until someone mentioned it on the radio. I already submitted my taxes and received my refund. Do I have to file an amendment? Thanks for any help with this.

There were no federal stimulus checks in 2022. There is nothing to enter about a federal stimulus check on a 2022 tax return. The federal stimulus checks -- EIP payments -- were sent out in 2020 and 2021. If you received some sort of state stimulus check---as many people did --- the IRS has determined that those checks are not taxable on your 2022 federal return. You do not have to amend for that.
