Deductions & credits

@alisonb109 What tax return did you amend in January?    In order to get the stimulus payments you need to file a 2020 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit on a 2020 return.   The IRS is not going to use an amended 2019 return now to issue stimulus payments.

 

Did you file a 2020 return?   The EIP payments now are ONLY based on 2020 returns--not 2018 or 2019.   What were the ages of your children at the end of 2020?
