Amending 2020 if stimulus received in 2021

Hello, 

I'm facing strange Turbotax behavior when making amend for 2020.
I've found form 1099-MISC(some reward from my bank). I'm starting to create amend, adding this form. After Turbotax asks me did I receive 1st and 2nd stimulus. I received them in 2021 with my tax refund. If I select "YES", it shows me that I owe the same money as federal tax.  If I select "NO"(which I think is correct because I received this money only in 2021) it shows me at final review "Line 15 - Refundable credits":
Original return:   0.00 
Amended return: stimulus amount;
Net change:  stimulus amount; Which is wrong, because I've already received this money. 

Could you please help how to correct to file this case?

Amending 2020 if stimulus received in 2021

If the reward from your bank is small enough that your tax liability is less than $25, you do not need to file the amended form at all. I am thinking that your tax liability may not be changing due to the wording used. Do you believe you should owe more than $25 in tax?

Hi @AmyC , 

Thank you for answer, 
No. Box4 of 1099-MISC shows that 24$ already has been withheld to Federal tax. Turbotax estimations: 2$ federal refund to me and I owe my state(CA) 12$.

Turbo Tax is showing a refund of the stimulus amount plus $2?  I would normally say that the IRS will figure it out and give you the $2 but, in that chance they send you the stimulus again, you do not want to be hit with interest  and penalties over $2. I would not amend.

Thanks, @ZoltanB45 ,

I don't need this refund, I just worry about 12$ that I owe to the state.
