If you filed your 2020 income tax return and entered that you did not get your second stimulus check, you may have to amend your income tax return.
- The IRS has announced that they will begin accepting and processing 2020 individual tax returns on February 12, 2021.
If your return gets rejected, you'll be able to add the stimulus payment and submit the corrected return.
If your return gets accepted:
- The IRS may correct your return and remove the stimulus payment in which case you don't have to amend your return.
- If the IRS does not correct your return to remove the stimulus payment, you'll have to amend your income tax return.
- NOTE: At this time, you're not able to amend a 2020 income tax return. Check the forms availability to see the date you'll be able to amend.
