After you file

The IRS is still in the process of issuing the third stimulus payments.  For information on when/if you can expect your stimulus payment, check the IRS Get My Payment tool.

 

Go ahead and file your 2020 return now.  The Recovery Rebate Credit that you can claim in your 2020 return, is only to replace the first two stimulus payments if you were eligible for them but did not receive them.

 

The IRS has not yet issued guidance on whether they will automatically make adjustments for the third stimulus payment or add a credit to the 2021 tax return for those who did not receive the entire payment they were due.  We will continue to post current information in this TurboTax article: How will the third stimulus impact me?
