Greetings,
This year I tried to e-file for the first time 2021 taxes and I made the following mistake - Instead of filing two separate forms for 2020 and 2021 I put both years' W2s in 2021 form. A few days ago IRS direct deposited the whole sum to my account (federal only, state still processing). So shall I now amend and remove 2020 W2 form from the original e-file and what is going to happen ? They will ask me to return part of the money and then I will have to e-file 2020 to get back the money I will return ? Or is it okay if I just don't do 2020 since I got it already ? I am confused because I thought IRS would reject instead of paying me when they see both W2s (2020, 2021) in one form.
My other question is concerning the recovery rebate credit. I haven't received any stimulus checks paid in advance and I am eligible to claim the abovementioned credit however it wasn't direct deposited together with the tax refund and I am wondering if IRS will send it separately soon. I did point out that I haven't received any stimulus checks during the e-filing process and TurboTax asked me if I have received the recovery rebate credit and I said "no" and as far as I remember the request to get it was added to the form.
