Is there a way to manually add that I didn't receive the 1st round of stimulus for me or my 2 kids? I never got either round but it only added the 2nd round to my return

[queenofme20]

When I tried to file on Credit Karma it did allow me to check each stimulus and I was going to receive both, but I had already filed with Turbo Tax. I am kicking myself! Should I amend? If I do, I'm not sure if there is even a way I can fix this issue. Anyone have advice?

Yes, there was a way to manually add that you and your kids did not receive the first round of stimulus through the Recovery Rebate Credit. But, since this credit was partially included in your return, you will not have to amend your return.

The IRS will adjust it. The IRS issued guidance March 1, 2021 regarding this situation. There will be a slight delay in processing your return.

DO NOT file an amended tax return with the IRS. If you entered an amount on line 30 but made a mistake in calculating the amount, the IRS will calculate the correct amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit, make the correction to your tax return and continue processing your return. If a correction is needed, there may be a slight delay in processing your return and the IRS will send you a notice explaining any change made.
