Hello,
When the FIRST Economic Impact Payment (EIP) was made, I did not receive it. (I received the second and third) It took me over a year to get the IRS to trace the FIRST EIP. They could not locate the payment so they advised me to report the amount on my 2021 taxes and they would pay it in the form of a refund. I reported the amount but the IRS rejected the claim because they could not locate the original check. I continued to follow up with the IRS and they finally traced the check and were able to confirm the check was never cashed and so they cancelled the check. The physical check was never located. The IRS then sent me a replacement check which included interest. This check arrived and was cashed in 2022.
I know I need to report the EIP and interest but I don't know how and turbo tax is not providing a prompt for it.
Also, I have not received any forms from the IRS about this payment/interest but I know if I receive interest from the IRS, I need to report it. The interest was just under $26.
Could someone please explain to me how I can report the EIP and interest without any forms from the IRS?
Please assume I cannot obtain any forms from the IRS. I live abroad and I do not have the means to chase the IRS, but I do want to report the amount.
Thank you.
