I didn't receive any of any EIC payments yet, why would my 2020 tax return only be $185? If I didn't get the $1,800 everyone else did, why wasn't it $1,800?

No one in the user forum can see your tax return. When did you prepare/file your 2020 return? If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd EIP payments you need to use the recovery rebate credit on a 2020 return to get the stimulus payments.

@kamchief And....just in case....are you trying to use the current online software for a 2020 return? Online is only for 2021 returns---no other year. If you are trying to use online for 2020---STOP.
