@Nova19 

 

Are you in TurboTax Online?

The brute force solution is to use the "Clear and Start Over" command.

Then be more careful.

 

It should be easier but I can't tell you how to get back to that interview.

@Nova19 Did you e-file already?   If you did not e-file then you can go back through the Review section of the software to the questions about the recovery rebate credit.  If you did NOT get the 3rd EIP payment last year then you should be able to get it with your 2021 return.   It will show up on line 30 of your Form 1040.

 

If you already e-filed, then you are going to have to wait while your return is in pending.

 

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

 

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending. By late January/early February the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files.   If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.   If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix your mistake.
