If the Recovery Rebate Credit is not on Line 30 of your 1040, then you will have to file an amended return. Per the IRS, receiving Notice 1444-A is not a guarantee of eligibility for an Economic Impact Payment.
Your Recovery Rebate Credit amount will be phased out if your adjusted gross income for 2020 exceeds $150,000 if you are married filing a joint return or filing as a qualifying widow or widower, $112,500 if you are using the head of household filing status, or $75,000 if you are using any other filing status.
If you qualify based on your 2020 adjusted gross income and your e-file is still pending, you won't be able to make changes until the IRS accepts your return. Once your return is accepted, please follow the directions on the How do I amend my 2020 return?
After you initiate the amendment of your return, please go to the recovery rebate form and enter the correct amount of stimulus payments you received and you will receive the Recovery Rebate Credit, if you qualify.
To get to the correct screen, please follow the steps below:
- With your return open, search for stimulus with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
- Select the Jump to Stimulus in the search results to directly go to correct TurboTax page.
- Follow the on screen instructions and reenter the correct information.
