After you file

DoninGA, Are you sure putting in $0 for 2019 AGI will work? I sure hope so. And WilliamWV, regarding the second stimulus, yes this is why you did not get it, as I also did not get mine. What they are saying is if you did not receive your second stimulus you can recoup it by filing your 2020 taxes and there is a place to make note of this and get it as a tax credit that would be added to your refund. I am also assuming that if you owe money then the stimulus credit would reduce the amount of any money owed.

From the IRS web site:

If you didn’t get the full Economic Impact Payment, you may be eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit

The IRS and Treasury have issued all first and second Economic Impact Payments.

If you didn’t get any Economic Impact Payments or got less than the full amounts, you may qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit and must file a 2020 tax return to claim the credit even if you don’t normally file.
