Would I still get the Third stimulus (EIC) if I just claimed it?

Level 15

If you never received the 3rd stimulus payment (EIP3) it will be entered on your federal tax return Form 1040 Line 30 as a Recovery Rebate Credit. Assuming you indicted in the TurboTax program, Federal Review, that you did NOT receive the stimulus payment.

The credit would be included in the federal tax refund or it would reduce the amount of taxes owed.

I just claimed it by amending my 2021 return and it's already been accepted I just was worried It was too late and I had to wait for next tax time

I filed my 2021 tax return in February with TurboTax autofile and I guess it never claimed it and I was never aware of it until now so I amended my taxes today and it was claimed as rebate credit and refiled and had already been accepted and had said it'd be sent by mail I know I'm getting the payment I just don't know if I have to wait till next tax season for them to actually send it

"Accepted" just means that the amended return is ready for the IRS to process it. But the IRS is severely backlogged this year. Amended returns are taking 6 months or more to be processed. It's not because it has to wait for the next tax season. It's just because the backlog is that long.
