I efiled and forgot to add my 2nd stimulus check what should I do?

Just wait for your return to be processed.  The IRS has not published how it will handle any misstatement of stimulus payments on the 2020 tax returns.  They may catch the error and notify you of the changes.  

This may delay and/or reduce your refund. 

Due to the timing of the stimulus payments and the tax filing season this is a very common experience.

Here is a link to monitor for updates to the Recovery Rebate Credit program.

Thank you. Going crazy trying to amend my return.

If you have an amount or the wrong amount on 1040 line 30 the IRS will adjust it for you.  You only need to amend if you do not have an amount listed and you need to add a first or second stimulus payment you did not get but qualify for.
