Deductions & credits

If you have a 1,200  on 1040 line 30 that is only for the extra Stimulus payment Recovery rebate credit you qualify for based on your entries.  How much did you actually receive for each round?  Did you enter both payments?  How many people are on your tax return?  You, spouse, dependents?

 

The Stimulus Checks are really based on your 2020 return we are filing in 2021, not on 2019 or 2018.  So any amount you already got will be reconciled on your 2020 return line 30.
