The IRS had to put together the second stimulus payment process with very little lead time, so some errors are probably inevitable. The only thing you can do is keep checking the IRS Get My Payment tool for updates. Keep in mind though that the IRS only updates the information once a day, overnight.
If you and your wife do not receive your payments, you can make an adjustment on your 2020 tax return for stimulus payments you qualify for, but have not received.
To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:
- Enter the information in your return.
- Click Federal Review at the top of your screen.
- On the screen, Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
- You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received.
- TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to. This will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.
