After you file

There is no way to ensure that the IRS uses your recently filed 2020 Federal 1040 tax return.  At this point, we do not have information about how long it will take the IRS to update tax return information.

 

Filing the 2020 Federal 1040 tax return is the only procedure to update your dependent information, mailing address information and checking account information. 

 

However, we do not know whether the information from your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return will have time to be updated before a third stimulus payment is sent out within the next few days.

 

This TurboTax Help states:

 

The IRS began issuing the first batch of stimulus payments, and they could arrive as early as this weekend (March 13-14), with more arriving over the coming week. Further batches of payments will arrive during the following weeks. If you’re eligible, check the status of your stimulus payment and the way it’ll be sent to you by going to the IRS Get My Payment Tool, which will be live on March 15th.

 

This TurboTax Help was recently released.  Review for more current information.
