Can I not just put my 2019 income on that line? The people I've spoken with on the Economic Impact Payments line seem to believe that I should be able to claim the amount I was supposed to get last year on line 30.
The Recovery Rebate Credit on the 2020 federal tax return is based on your 2020 AGI.
The stimulus questions are asked in the Federal Review section of the TurboTax program. Any payment you were eligible to receive based on the 2020 Federal tax return but did not receive will be entered on the Federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 30 as a tax credit. The credit is included in the federal tax refund or it will reduce the amount of federal taxes owed.
