I recently filed my 2020 tax return via Turbo Tax but now realize I made a mistake. I said I didn’t receive my second stimulus payment of $1,200 but I did. Since I told Turbo Tax I hadn’t received the payment, I received a $1,200 credit on the tax I owed.
To correct this, I asked a friend who previously worked for a tax-filing service what to do and he suggested, rather than send in an amended form, just send a check with a short letter of explanation.
Is this good advice? And if so, would I send the letter and check to the same address provided for my original filing and payment. (I submitted my tax file and payments digitally.
Thanks.
