Wrong tax form filed

I realized I filed my taxes using the 1040 SS form. I'm not self employed and live in the US. I noticed that anyone that filed with this form is not eligible for the stimulus check but when I check the irs get my payment website, it says I'm eligible to receive the payment. I used the get payment site to update my bank info because I opted to receive this year's refund on the turbo card. I'm now worried that I won't be receiving the stimulus funds which like alot of people  are in dire need of. Any advice on how I can correct this would be extremely helpful.  Thanks in advance for help!

You'll need to amend your return

  • To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed.  You will need to print and mail the amendment.  
  • Allow 8-12 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.
