I filed my 2020 taxes in early February and received my federal refund February 26. We just received the latest stimulus payment and it was lower than the max amount because we're between the AGI thresholds. I had planned to contribute to a traditional IRA before 4/15/21 and then file an amended 2020 return with my new lower AGI amount...this would have increased our stimulus amount significantly.
Question is, if I do the amended return next week reflecting the lower AGI, is there a way to get the additional stimulus funds based on the lower AGI? Not able to get anyone on the IRS help line and the stimulus help line suggested I would need to file the Recovery Rebate during the amended return but in reading about it that form seems to be only for stimulus not received in 2020.
