Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you didn't file a federal income tax return, to correct a stimulus payment entry, log back on and go through the federal interview again. Once you complete that, TurboTax will do a Federal Review.

  1. On the Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount screen, select Continue.
  2. On the Did you get a stimulus payment? screen, select Yes and enter the amounts received. 
  3. Continue with the onscreen interview until complete.

 

If you filed a federal income tax return and it was accepted by the IRS, per IRS

  • DO NOT file an amended tax return with the IRS. If you entered an amount on line 30 but made a mistake in calculating the amount, the IRS will calculate the correct amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit, make the correction to your tax return and continue processing your return. If a correction is needed, there may be a slight delay in processing your return and the IRS will send you a notice explaining any change made.

Note: The stimulus payments are not taxable income to you.
