Hi @BillM223, thank you for your response.
- My 2018 tax return does not have a Schedule A. Turbo Tax picked standard deduction for me that year. Line 8 ("Standard deduction or itemized deductions (from Schedule A)") of 1040 is $12,000.
- Also, my Schedule 1 ("Additional Income and Adjustments to Income") from 2018 does not have a Line 16, but it has a Line 16a and it is Reserved and grayed out. However, Line 29 on Schedule 1 is named "Self-employed health insurance deduction", but that one is blank for me.
- I was not self-employed and was a W-2 employee in 2018 along with a few months of unemployment compensation.
Would these add up (along with "you apparently did not receive any PTC") to make the rebate not-taxable?
When you say "If you did deduct this amount somewhere": is there anywhere else this amount could have been deducted? Also, on 2018 or 2019 return? I received the check in 2019. I must have already submitted 2018 return by then.
Thanks in advance for your response.
