What can be done with the letter 6475 not matching the amount generated in the tax software and what was actually received?

Filing a joint married return and the amount is exact half.

You had better check your own records and know for certain how much of that 3rd stimulus you received --- and when you enter the amount for the recovery rebate credit---get it right.   Entering the wrong amount will delay your refund for months while the IRS cross checks it.

Did you each get a letter yet?.... They should have sent one for the taxpayer and one for the spouse with half of the advance on each letter. So if you're missing a letter simply enter the amount of the stimulus payment you got in the program and continue on your happy way.

Can you call and have them manually fix it on there end. I put in the wrong amount

@jaytrent1125  Did you already file?  Was it Accepted?  If it rejects you can fix it and resend it.  What did you put the wrong amount for?  The 3rd Stimulus Check?  If it was Accepted the IRS will probably fix it for you.

I have the same problem. My Letter 6475 states I received $1, 400, but I looked at the direct deposit from the IRS on my bank statement and it was $1,200.

@uniquetobeme There have been three stimulus payments. Make sure you are looking at the right one.  The first one was in 2020 and was for $1200 for adults and $500 for dependents up to age 16.  The second one--- paid in late 2020 or early 2021 was for $600 for adults and $600 for dependents up to age 16.   The THIRD one--paid in 2021 or available as a recovery rebate credit on a 2021 tax return----was $1400 for adults and $1400 for dependents they claimed.

@Critter-3 Where do i enter the amount from the letter 6475? which section in turbotax?

[Critter-3]

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”)  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2021 Form 1040.

Guys, so I need Letter 6475.. is it somewhere on TurboTax?

I'm filing jointly with my wife who just came to America last year. Now has her greencard and been working for 4 months.

We are filing jointly and I'm claiming her on my taxes as I'm her sponcer for her greencard so she will get her $1400 stimulus check... 

Do I need to file out 2 letters 1 for her and 1 for me? If so I'm assuming I out the 1400 I received for me and 0 on hers? Can someone plz help me understand?

[Critter-3]

Correct ... when asked  in the interview ... you got 1400 and she got 0  in advance. 

[Corey122289]

I guess we are using h&r block that's what my father's always used to do my taxes... It's says anyone who got the stimulus will get the Letter 6475.. since she didn't I can't fill one out for her .. 

So I download the letter from IRS from me and I'm filing jointly and claiming her ... Is that all I need to do?

[xmasbaby0]

@Corey122289 You cannot claim your spouse as a dependent.   A spouse can never be claimed as a dependent.

[Corey122289]

Yes she can... I'm her sponcer for her greencard I claim her untill she gets her citizenship. Trust me. I just need to know how till fill out this form and where to get it... But since u don't understand my situation don't worry about it I'll wait for another answer.

[Corey122289]

Well. Married filing jointly. That's it but she is a dependent... Either way I need to know what to do with this form...
