I am on SSDI. My daughter due to Covid didn't make more than half my income 2020. So when I filed my taxes I got confused and in the recovery rebate worksheet I put what my daughter got, the $1200 and the $600 with a zero balance on line 30. My daughter hasn't filed her 2020 yet. On march 17 she received $2800. A couple days later I received $1400. I know it was my return. But I do deserve a stimulus as she didn't make enough this year to claim me. Since she hasn't filed her 2020 yet, how do I correct this? I knew it was a mistake as soon as I filed but I couldn't amend in TT until the 25th so I want to get this right.
I don't know why I filed this way chalk it up to Covid brain. I have been on SSDI for many years and never needed to file.

I saw an error on my federal form. i filed "Single" in error. I am a surviving widow and have been for 11 years. now that I have seen a printing of my error I see that my refund amt is wrong. In past years I have received between 1400 amd $1600 each year.Once this is amended I'll be able to file my Michigan tax form show Mi I owe no taxes because of my retirement pay as a Mi retiree.
I need to cancel my stimulus credit. I did receive the payment in march 2021 and I have a credit for the same amount on my tax return.
No need to amend, in fact you can't until your original return has processed.
The IRS will adjust your return, they have the payment amounts on record.
The processing on your return may be delayed because of the error.
If you will now OWE a tax payment, make that payment before the deadline of April 18th, 2022.
