It will be easy to fix if you haven't filed your return or if it was rejected.
If you haven't filed, or your return was rejected, you can go back into TurboTax and enter the correct stimulus amount.
To get to the stimulus section in TurboTax online:
- Type "stimulus" in Search in the upper right
- Click "Jump to stimulus"
- TurboTax will ask whether the amount your eligible for matches what you got.
- Say NO
- Remove $0
- Then tell TurboTax YES that $1,400 in the upper right is the amount of stimulus you received. Your refund should go down by $1,400.
Already filed
If you filed and your return was accepted by the IRS – wait. The IRS should fix your return. Otherwise you can file an amended return. TurboTax will allow amendments later this month.
See How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed. You'll see instructions to amend 2021 when 2021 is ready.
