Hi,
I filed our 2020 return before the 3rd stimulus checks were issued, so our eligibility was based on 2020 return (as opposed to 2019 or earlier). On the initial filing, I over-declared our income, which pushed our married-filing-jointly AGI over $160K. I then filed an amended return, which brought our married-filing-jointly AGI below $150K. We still did not receive the 3rd stimulus payment.
In 2021, our married-filing-jointly AGI is just over $160K - this time without me making the same filing mistake I did last year. Because of this, I do not get an option to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit.
In summary:
- 2021 AGI - above threshold;
- 2020 amended AGI - below threshold;
- 2020 original AGI - above threshold;
- 2019 (and all earlier) AGI - below threshold.
Is there no way for our family to qualify for and receive the 3rd stimulus payment?
