This year has been packed with changes and the IRS is allowing some latitude trying to help everyone. The link below will show you what the IRS has on file for your stimulus payments.
- Get My Payment - Select the button Get My Payment to see if your information is current based on the payments you did receive. If so, then it's another confirmation the IRS will not release the funds a second time.
The IRS will compare the amounts in their system to the returns that are file and then there are two possible outcomes.
- The IRS will reject the return in which case you can correct it and immediately resubmit.
- The IRS accepts the return and automatically makes the adjustment.
It would seem they have a system already in place to make the necessary adjustments or an automatic reject if your return doesn't match their records. Do not amend until you know the results of your tax return after e-file opens on February 12th. If for any reason you do have to amend, which is unlikely, remember it can now be e-filed and currently the form is scheduled to be available February 18th.
