@Javy_17 - you are NOT going to miss out.... here is why....'
First, if you try to amend 2019 there is no guidance whether the IRS will immediately send out the stimulus. maybe they will and maybe the won't. No one knows at this point and the amendment will take at least 4 months to process.
But here is the guarantee, but you may not like the timing.
- The stimulus payments are really based on your 2020 tax return (income, dependents, etc).
- The IRS is using either 2018 or 2019 – whatever is available - to ESTIMATE that payment
- When you file next year there will be a “settle up” section on the tax return.
- If you are due more stimulus (and this would include where you simply never received it), you will receive it through the 2020 tax filing as an additional refund.
- If you received too much stimulus (not the issue here), by law, you are not required to return it
you will get the stimulus if your 2020 tax return shows you are not able to be claimed by anyone else!
