I received a Refund Recovery Rebate when I filed my taxes earlier this month, so I already received my stimulus. I'm amending my reutn, how do I answer the stimulus q?

Can you tell us why you are amending?  It's not required for say, the unemployment comp exclusion in most cases.

You don't need to amend your return if this is your only issue.  The IRS will make the adjustment for you when processing your return.

See 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit — Topic G: Correcting issues after the 2020 tax return is filed for more information.

If you’re amending for another reason, answer that you’ve received the stimulus.

I received another W2 in the mail for a job I forgot I did last year, but I received it after I filed earlier this month. I've already received my Recovery Rebate on my return, and when I click "yes" to the "did you receive your stimulus?" question, it's saying I owe over $1800, which isn't right.

On your amended return, the question was whether you received the stimulus payments and you should answer No so that the Recovery rebate credit is claimed just like in your original return.

The only change in the amendment is the form W-2 that you received.
