If you need to change your filing status on a return, you will need to amend your tax return(s.)
We do not have any information, however, indicating whether or not IRS will adjust a stimulus payment when an amended return is processed.
Based on information we have now, IRS plans to reconcile stimulus payments on the 2020 tax return, filed in the Spring of 2021. That would mean, if you received the wrong amount or didn't receive a stimulus payment, you would be able to receive the correct and/or additional amount.

If you need to amend your tax return, please follow the steps below. Please note that amended returns cannot be efiled (IRS does not accept efiled tax returns.)
