If you've already e-filed your tax return but need to make some changes to the Stimulus amount, we would like to give you the opportunity to review and update the Recovery Rebate Credit portion of your 2020 tax return before the IRS opens on February 12th.
If you want to review and update your 2020 return:
To quickly get to the stimulus section of TurboTax:
Note: Stimulus payments were advances on the Recovery Rebate Credit. Stimulus payments are not taxable income to you so you won't be taxed on the amount you receive. It won’t reduce your refund or increase what you owe when you file your taxes this year. It’s also not considered income, so it won’t affect your eligibility for any federal government assistance or benefits. To review the TurboTax FAQ, click here.
HI Helen,
I followed the instructions that you gave me and filled out the form, but I have not yet received the instructions to fix my tax return. Is there any updated information? Thank you.
Yes, there is, and emails are being sent out. I just wanted to let you know that given I am not sure of your current location, the emails will be coming from a PT zone and it is now 3:08pm for them.
Hello,
It is now the 10th and I have not received any instructions to amend my returns. Is there a reason for this?
This year has been packed with changes and the IRS is allowing some latitude trying to help everyone. The link below will show you what the IRS has on file for your stimulus payments.
The IRS will compare the amounts in their system to the returns that are filed and then there are two possible outcomes.
It would seem they have a system already in place to make the necessary adjustments or an automatic reject if your return doesn't match their records. Do not amend until you know the results of your tax return after e-file opens on February 12th. If for any reason you do have to amend, which is unlikely, remember it can now be e-filed and currently the form is scheduled to be available February 18th.
At that time if you actually need to amend use this link to get started (Currently, Form 1040X is scheduled to be available February 18th):
