Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You will not see the Recovery Rebate Screen if you do not qualify for the RRC. The RRC is based on your 2020 tax return. Do you qualify based on your 2020 income?
The first and second payments were advanced payments for 2020. Since the IRS did not have 2020 tax returns when they sent out the payments, they used 2018 and 2019 information. However, the amount of RRC you should receive is calculated using 2020 income.
2019 income was only relevant for sending out last year's payments. The IRS stopped sending those out. Any missing payments are added to the 2020 tax return as a refund. Those payments are based on 2020 income.
