Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Maybe you misread or misunderstood what the TurboTax program was asking you concerning the 3rd stimulus payment.  If you and someone else on your tax return were eligible for the 3rd stimulus payment the program asked if you received $2,800.  Answering Yes would have left Line 30 on the Form 1040 blank (empty).

If you indicated that you did NOT receive the $2,800 stimulus payment then the program would have entered $2,800 on Line 30 for the Recovery Rebate Credit.

 

The IRS has records that show you were sent the 3rd stimulus payment so they removed the $2,800 Recovery Rebate Credit that was entered on Form 1040 Line 30.


Go to this IRS website for your tax account to see if the 3rd stimulus payment is entered - https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account
If you are Married Filing Jointly also check your spouse's tax account.


If you checked your bank account in the March - May 2021 timeframe and there is not a $2,800 EIP3 payment from the IRS then go to this IRS website for how to start a trace on the payment - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/questions-and-answers-about-the-third-economic-impact-payment-topic-j-p...
