My wife got her SSN in 2021, so I did the 2020 amended tax return to update her SSN for the 2020 return. Along the way, it says we are qualified for her stimulus check portion of $1800. But at the same time, it says we owe $418 on federal tax. I didn't change anything other than her SSN. Nothing else was touched at all. Why do I owe that amount and if IRS owes us the $1800 stimulus check, why wouldn't it deduct from that? I'm so confused. How do I correct this issue and able to file the 2020 amended tax return so we can get her portion of the stimulus check?
