No, you can't go back to address the first or second stimulus payments nor the credit issued on the 2020 return.
According to the IRS, for the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit:
Valid social security number. A valid social security number is one that is valid for employment in the United States and is issued before the due date of your 2020 return (including extensions).
TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION OF THE 2021 RECOVERY REBATE:
No, your wife is not eligible for the 1,400 since she does not have a valid Social Security Number and won't have one by the due date of the 2021 return.
If your wife does not have a valid social security you would not be able to pass the TurboTax review. Did you enter a social security number for her in the "My Personal Info" section?
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, go to the Recov Rebate Cr form and select
NO for line 2
NO for line 3
YES for line 4
Line 6 should show 1,400 only
If you are using TurboTax Online with the intention of printing and mailing the return, and the program is generating that additional 1,400 for your wife, go back and enter 1,400 as received. This is only used for the TurboTax worksheet, so it is not part of your 1040, and it will adjust your Recovery Rebate to 1,400 as it should be.
For Online, delete "Recovery Rebate Worksheet" , the question will be asked again, enter 1400.
Select Tax Tools then Tools on the left side-bar
Select "Delete a form" on the TOOLS screen
Scroll down, find and delete "Recovery Rebate Worksheet"
