Thank you for your help. I went back and double checked that he was entered correctly and he is.
Yes, I can confirm that the amounts you stated are what my husband and I received for both the stimulus payments. Yes, I understand we only enter what we received, nothing about that was not received. I only added that for explanation purposes for the fact we did not.
I also understand that the 2019 taxes have nothing to do with this year. From my understanding they did affect the first stimulus payments as the IRS used the information from our 2019 taxes to verify eligibility/payment. Since my son didn’t have a SSN at the time we filed, we believe that is why we didn’t receive the first one, and assume the same issue for the second as we haven’t filed for 2020 yet. For whatever reason the system is not recognizing these two “missing” stimulus payments even though he is entered with a SSN as there is no amount on line 30 or no recovery rebate credit.
Since Turbo Tax does not specifically address dependent stimulus payments or allow one to identify if something is missing in this regard, I will have to go somewhere else to have my taxes done to ensure this gets sorted out as I don’t want to file and have to wait a year to get credit for these amounts. We assumed it would be straightforward and retro the last two payments for him but unfortunately it’s not.
I appreciate your advice and expertise. All I can think is it’s a fluke in the system due to his SSN being missing when IRS initially pulled our family data as I’ve used Turbo Tax for years and feel confident I’ve entered everything correctly. Thanks again.
