I'll try to be short & to the point. I misplaced a stimulus check that I found the day after it expired. Already filed return for 2021. Received notice from IRS about it, letter stated to contact for replacement; they're unable to replace and to file an amended return. I don't know how to add that check to my amended return though. I never had to do an amended return. Finally, is it too late for an amended return to be filed by me? I will have help if I do it by paper. Thank you all in advance
You will change the answer about how much you got in advance for the stimulus payment to zero advance payment.

Thank you! Sorry I'm having a late response, I'm divorced with 3 kids. I tucked it into a safe place because I didn't have time to deposit it when I got it. I went crazy looking for it because I forgot where my hiding place was and my life was compete and utter chaos caused by a relative. Go figure, I found it the day after it expired in May.
Thank you I appreciate your assistance as well. I've never had to amend a return and certainly after I received a letter that told me to call them to get a new check-I did they told me they couldn't and to amend my return, except they didn't tell me as I asked.
