I messed up on my 2020 tax return and didn't receive the 3rd stimulus. If I amend it, will I receive it?

I filed my 2020 tax return earlier this month and already received my return. However, on my return, I accidentally said that I was able to be claimed as a dependent by someone else when I meant to say no. This made me ineligible for the 3rd stimulus. If I amend my return once the 1040x is available, would I still be able to receive the stimulus or would I have to wait until next year to claim it as a rebate when filing taxes? Thanks.

If the third stimulus payments are issued in subsequent waves, you may be able to receive the third stimulus at some point after you correct your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return.  We do not know how long the IRS will be issuing third stimulus payments.

 

Amended tax returns will be available on March 26.

 

It is possible that the third stimulus payment may be available on the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return as a Recovery Rebate Credit.
