Deductions & credits

I thought Stimulus Payment # 2 is based of the 2019 taxes.  Stimulus Payment #3 will be on the 2020 taxes.

 

The ADVANCE stimulus payments 1 & 2 were based on the 2018 or 2019 AGIs.  If you did not get the full amount in ADVANCE then you can get the missing amount on the 2020 return as a CREDIT  which uses the 2020 AGI  and that  means you may not be eligible for the credit based on the 2020 amount. 

 

If you get the Stimulus check #3 and your 2020 AGI is above the cut off point, do you return the money from the stimulus check when you file the 2021 taxes?   

 

As with the first 2 advances  if you get too much third stimulus money in advance  then you get to keep the excess ...  you don't have to pay it back.
