After you file

If you knew you had a W-2 to enter and the program did not ask for it but you filed the return anyway without that income  then you have only yourself to blame ... when you use a DIY program you are responsible for filing a true and accurate return.  Going forward, no matter which tax program you use,  always review the return carefully before you file it to avoid issues later.  I highly suggest you "sleep on it" and review it again later with fresh eyes before you hit the submission button.  

 

And the third stimulus was issued to everyone who qualified even if you did not have kids.  So the question on the advance child tax credits payments (for those who did have dependents)  was asked to everyone this year since the program cannot deduce if you got any CTC advance in 2021 based off the info on the 2021 return.
