Get your taxes done using TurboTax

re:   in response to the 2021 stimulus post

1. I received the full $1400

2. My AGI is less than $73K

3. When asked if the amount received equals the IRS letter I answer yes and enter the $1400 which increases my tax liability by $1400

4. according to posts, TT will ask, in a follow-up, the stimulus amount received to offset the amount reported - it does NOT

5. According to posts, I can enter the $1400 amount in line 30 on my 1040 which causes an error.

6.  Unless I read  the IRS website wrong,  the amount entered in line 30 is to be the difference between the qualified stimulus amount ( in my case $1400) and the amount actually received, again in my case having received the full amount, the entry should be "0"

in summation,  I have followed instructions.   MY question now is

 

1.  how do I answer  "yes"  and not have my tax increase by $1400, or 

2.  where in TT do I find the a page to enter the $1400 which offsets the amount entered.

 

Yes, this has been lengthy but thanks to anyone who can provide some helpful feed back.

 

blessings to all
