Deductions & credits

did you receive your refund yet? it is possible the IRS finds the error.

 

if you've received your refund and the IRS didn't find it, then yes, amend! 

 

the way these stimulus payments and recovery credits worked, it is true that for divorced parents who alternate claiming their child each year, one parent can receive the stimulus for that child while the other gets the Recovery Credit on Line 30.   So one child can be worth two payments, and that is all perfectly legal. 

 

the same thing is going to occur for Stimulus 3..... 

 

they are not going to think you lied; you just made an honest mistake. it happens.
