How do I change an answer?

You can go back and edit an answer as long as you have not yet filed your tax return. Sign into your Online  account and click the orange button that says "Take me to my return". Then click one of the sections ( Personal Info, Federal Taxes, State Taxes) to enter the return and make changes.


Please reply below if you have any additional questions.

How do I change my answer to question whether I received the 3rd Stimulus payment?  I answered Yes, but I did not receive it so I need to answer NO.

How do I change an answer?

Are you referring to the third stimulus check answers?  If so, you can access your stimulus check choices by following these steps: 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Across the top of the screen, click on Other Tax Situations.
  • At the screen We're almost there… or the screen That's all we need…,  click on Let’s keep going.
  • At the screen Let’s double-check the amount you received, answer the questions and click Continue. 

If you have not received the third stimulus check, you will receive your payment in the form of a Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of your 2021 Federal tax return when you file.

 

TurboTax will compare your stimulus payment amount to the computations within TurboTax.  The computations within TurboTax are based upon the information that you have entered into the tax software.  If you are due an additional amount, it will be issued as a Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2021 1040 tax return.

 

If you have e-filed your 2021 Federal tax return and the tax return is accepted by the IRS, you will have to amend your 2021 Federal tax return and correct the entries and calculations to receive the Recovery Rebate Credit.
