I already filed my 2020 taxes. However, I didn't fill out the stimulus section. How can I amend my taxes to show that I never received the stimulus?

You have to wait for the original tax return to be fully processed before you amend.   Then you can send an amended return to use the recovery rebate credit to get the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus payment if you did not receive it.    There is no place to enter anything about the 3rd stimulus----that is issued separately by the IRS.

Select your tax year for amending instructions:

• 2020
• 2019
• 2018
• 2017

     What does it mean to "amend" a return?

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return.  If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”)  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.

Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st and 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.

Note:   Do not expect quick results when you amend.

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns.  Do not expect quick results from amending.  When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.  They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns.  You can watch for information here:

@anthonyyoshida72 , if you return has been already  filed and accepted -- then please wait till the processing is  over ( your refund issued  or  say  four to six weeks  have gone past ) then file an amended return covering  ONLY  the  EIP  ( Economic Impact Payment ) section .  

If your return is  rejected  then you can make the changes  for the EIP -- recovery cerdit -- in addition to correcting for the rejection.

Here is some details from the IRS:  https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/2020-recovery-rebate-credit-topic-g-correcting-issues-after-the-2020-ta...
