My son did receive his $1,400 stimulus payment when he filed his taxes for the first time in 2020. He also received a Letter and reported it on his 2021 return. So we both received the 3rd stimulus for him. When filing my 2021 taxes, I entered the total amount that we received. I wondered if it would take the $1,400 back that I received for my son; even though I've seen many threads saying that neither check has to be returned? If it would have only taken the stimulus for my son, I wouldn't have questioned anything, but it then took more back because of a higher AGI in 2021? My AGI in 2019 and 2020 were below the threshold. Can they request some of the money back if my 2021 AGI is higher? It said that we didn't qualify for the full $1,400 each?
So my questions are:
Does one of the 3rd stimulus payments have to be returned?
Since I am not claiming my son in 2021, I should not include the amount that I received for him? Everything that I've read says that not entering the amount on our letters will cause problems. He filed his 2021 taxes and entered the $1,400 amount stated in his Letter.
Can they take a portion of my husband's and my 3rd stimulus back because our AGI in 2021 was higher, when we qualified in 2019 and 2020?
Thank you!
