You do not need to file an amended return now. You must wait until the original return is accepted or rejected on February 12. If your return is rejected, you can make the correction using these instructions:
- Log into Turbotax
- Click Federal Review ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount")
- Click Continue
- Click "Yes" and fill in the correct information
If accepted, most likely, the IRS will detect that you received your stimulus payment and adjust your refund accordingly. If the IRS does not auto-correct your refund, you must file an amended income tax return and pay back the difference.
