I didn't receive my full stimulus payment for the 2nd round. I only received a 1500 dollar deposit from turbotax today. Where can I find the other half?

Why did I only receive $1500.00 and I have a 5 person household?

The IRS knew there would be problems from the beginning. Only the IRS knows why it deposits the amounts that it does. My job is to help fix the problems. I can. Since you did not receive your full stimulus, you can have it added to your refund.

 

After you have entered your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, stimulus will be the first question.

 

If you are trying to trigger it: 

  1. go to Other Situations
  2. click Done. 
  3. The next question will ask about payments received.

The program will determine the missing amount and add it to your refund.

 

Also, the age of your kids. Mine was too old :(

You can go ahead and work on your tax return for 2020, where you can apply for the additional stimulus. If you apply for the additional stimulus but it has already been sent to you, the IRS will know that and adjust your tax return accordingly.
