TurboTax is only allowing the 2020 AGI on the Recovery Form for the COVID Relief.  They need to allow for the 2019 AGI for those of us that never received the first Stimulus check because of the IRS slowness.  The IRS says we will have the opportunity to Recover it on our 2020 tax but no way is provided in TurboTax because it defaults to the 2020 AGI even though it brought in my 2019 forms from last year.  HELP!


The Recovery Rebate Credit is an advance tax credit based on your 2020 federal tax return.

The IRS Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet Line 11 requires the 2020 AGI to be used.
