Does this match the amount on your Letter 6475

Did you receive the 3rd stimulus check last year? some people received a letter (6475) from the IRS stating the amount you received last year. Even if you did not receive the letter, you are responsible for knowing the amount of stimulus you received last year and entering that amount in.

My wife and I both received letter 6475 stating our EIP was $1400 each, but the Treasury check we received was not that amount.  Do we enter the amount we actually received?  I did that and it TT shows a credit amount to make up the difference.  

 

No. The IRS will not give you a Recovery Rebate Credit if you report an amount that is different from your letter.

 

The IRS says there are several possibilities for why your account shows you were issued a third Economic Impact Payment even though you did not receive one.

• You were issued an EIP Card and inadvertently discarded it not realizing it was your Economic Impact Payment. You may request a free replacement through MetaBank® Customer Service by calling 800-240-8100 and following the prompts for a lost or discarded card. Please see the Economic Impact Payment Information Center — Topic E: EIP Cards for more information.
• Your payment was made to a bank account or address you shared with a spouse.

• If your payment was returned by the post office or financial institution and hasn’t been credited back to your account yet. 
• If none of the scenarios above apply and you never received your payment even though your online account or letter show it was issued to you.
