I filed my 2021 taxes, yesterday I received the IRS EIP statement I did not see Turbo tax prompt me to enter this information. Do I need to file an amended return now?

Where is the EIP entered on the tax return?  How can I fix it if I already filed?

If you have already e-filed or mailed the return, then you will need to wait until the IRS has accepted or rejected that return before you can make any changes.

  • If they reject it, then you can make the needed changes and re-submit the return.  How do I fix a rejected return?

  • If they accept it, then you will need to wait until you have received your refund, if applicable, and then amend that return to make changes, if needed. Amended returns have to be printed and mailed in and take up to 16 weeks to be processed.   

If accepted, wait until you have received your refund or taxes due paid, then you can go here for instructions on amending your return.

Everyone eligible for the third stimulus credit was required to answer this question on this screen ... if you did not see it then you are not eligible for the credit on the 2021 return even if you didn't get any in advance ...
