TurboTax Third Stimulus AGI Error
TurboTax asks if I received a third stimulus check amount of $0. When I answer "Yes, $0 is right" it adds a calculated stimulus check amount to my tax refund for 2021, based on my 2019 AGI. However, I e-filed (with TurboTax) my 2020 return early enough that the IRS used my larger 2020 AGI to determine that I should not get a stimulus check. According to the IRS website, this is the process the IRS used and I don't qualify for a third stimulus check, so I don't know how to get past this error in TurboTax that would result in an incorrect additional refund amount. If I answer "No, update amount" and put in zero, it still insists on adding the additional calculated stimulus (based on my 2019 AGI) to my refund. There needs to be a way to get past this error!
