Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are qualified based on the requirements and your 2020 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), and did not get the full amount of the stimulus payments, then you must ensure you are entering the amount of stimulus payments you did receive to ensure that the credit calculates correctly.
Please follow the steps below:
- With your return open, search for stimulus with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
- Select the Jump to Stimulus in the search results to directly go to correct TurboTax page.
- You will come to a page titled Let's double-check the amount you received and it will list the first-round and second-round payments based on your 2020 return.
- Answer No for the question, Is this what you received?
- Enter the amounts of the first and second round stimulus payments you received. I have attached a screenshot below for additional guidance.
Your Recovery Rebate Credit will be the difference between what you were qualified for on your 2020 tax return less the amount of your first and second stimulus payments you have already received.
If the Recovery Rebate Credit is still not showing, then please review the requirements below to ensure you, your spouse and your dependents (if applicable) do qualify to receive the stimulus payment.
To qualify, you must:
- Be a US citizen or resident alien.
- Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
- Have an 2020 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint. If your AGI is above this amount, your payment will be reduced.
