Second Stimulus

[Reelesalty2]

I filed my 2020 taxes and claimed the second stimulus credit since it had not been received. My second stimulus was sent to a closed bank account and returned to the IRS by the banking institution. After filling on turbo tax electrically, I received a check for second stimulus. What do I need to do now?

You cannot make changes to a return that is in pending or to a return that has just been accepted.  

We do not know if entering the wrong stimulus amount will delay your refund --- or for how long if it does.   The IRS has not offered any guidance yet on how they will handle returns that have incorrect stimulus amounts entered.  We all just have to wait and see.  You are among many people  who were confused and entered incorrect stimulus amounts, or who filed early and then received a check.

Thanks for the feedback. I am hoping they would cross check the information. I did as IRS suggested.  I didn’t know if we needed to file an amendment form or wait to see what happens with the original return.
