Get your taxes done using TurboTax
What is on line 30 of your 2020 tax return?
No one in the user forum can see your tax return or the message you are getting from the IRS. The recovery rebate credit for the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus amount is based on your 2020 tax return. In order to get it you have to meet the criteria:
A1. Generally, if you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, you will receive an Economic Impact Payment of $1,200 ($2,400 for a joint return) if you (and your spouse if filing a joint return) are not a dependent of another taxpayer and have a Social Security number valid for employment and your adjusted gross income (AGI) does not exceed:
- $150,000 if married and filing a joint return
- $112,500 if filing as head of household or
- $75,000 for eligible individuals using any other filing status
Your payment will be reduced by 5% of the amount by which your AGI exceeds the applicable threshold above.
You are not eligible for a payment if any of the following apply to you:
- You may be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s return (for example, a child or student who may be claimed on a parent’s return or a dependent parent who may be claimed on an adult child’s return).
- You do not have a Social Security number that is valid for employment.
- You are a nonresident alien.
The following are also not eligible: a deceased individual or an estate or trust.
If you entered something incorrectly when you prepared your 2020 return, or if you did not use the recovery rebate credit when you prepared your 2020 return then you can amend it AFTER it has been fully processed.
