Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My refund was less also by about $1000.  I did receive a statement from the IRS saying the Recovery Rebate Credit was too high.  Turbotax calculated this for me since I did not receive any stimulus checks from the government.  Should I refile?


The Recovery Rebate Credit on your return is based on the answers you provided when asked if you receive the stimulus payments.  If you indicated that you did not receive either one or both of the payments, those amounts would be entered on your federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 30.

Apparently the IRS has records showing that they sent the stimulus payment(s) to you.

Look at your tax account.  It will show you any stimulus payments that were sent by the IRS - https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account

 

If the payment shown in your account were never received then you can start a trace for those payments.

Go to this IRS website for how to start a trace - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/second-eip-faqs
