How I can amend F1040 to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit? Taxes for 2020 already mailed out

  You cannot amend a tax return that was just accepted.   You have to wait for it to be processed by the IRS.  Trying to send in an amended return while they are still processing the original return could confuse things and delay your refund for months.

 

Do not try to change anything on your return now.  When you amend, your Form 1040X has to be prepared from the return exactly the way it looked when you filed it originally.   You have to wait.   Once your return has been processed you will complete a Form 1040X   --- which is not yet available --- and submit it to amend the mistakes made when you filed your original return. It takes the IRS at least four months to process an amended return.

The 2020 Form 1040X does not become available until the end of March 2021 (subject to change).

How I can amend F1040 to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit? Taxes for 2020 already mailed out

Hi, 

I am trying to amend my 2020 taxes so I can claim the recovery rebate credit. I am however not seeing the rebate credit as an option in the Turbo tax amendment form/system. I initially ticked that I could be claimed a s a dependent but I have been able to successfully amend that. The issue I'm now having is claiming the credit itself. It is not listed as one of the credits i can claim. Anyone else having this same issue?
