Turbotax is it asking if My son received letters 6475 for the stimulus of $1400. Because He filed that he could be claimed on somebody else’s taxes even though he wasn’t he was not eligible for the $1400 but then when I filed taxes the next year - which I don’t need to file but the only reason why I filed was it said that’s the only way to get the $1400 for my dependent so I filled out my taxes I put him down as a dependent and I got the $1400 for him and the letter I got stated that I had received I think $2800 … but my son received none and he did not get a letter and the question and Turbotax asks if the $1400 matches the amount that he got in letter 6475 but he never got a letter but I got a letter Dated January 18, 2022 with that form number in the amount of $2800 for the 2021 economic impact payment… but the question in Turbotax is asking my son if he received the letter because he’s eligible for the $1400. Since he’s filing independent does that mean he gets this $1400 even though I got $2800 the question says does this match the amount on your letter is 6475 so do I answer yes or do I answer no…. It’s very confusing I don’t know if it matters that he went from dependent to independent and now he qualifies to get it even though I got it because I claimed him as my dependent also Turbotax is saying that I should’ve received a letter between March and May 2021 but it’s dated January 18, 2022 so am I possibly looking at the wrong letter it says 2021 economic impact maybe I got the payment but I didn’t get the letter until January 18, 2022 but regardless do I answer the question yes or no if I answer the question yes then he doesn’t get the 1400 if I say no but he’s not supposed to get it and then he gets a bigger refund with it then that’s gonna be a mess with the IRS so I don’t know how to answer it… And I’m reading the question again it says does this match the amount on your letter 6475 but it doesn’t it says that he’s eligible for $1400 but the letter says $2800 and the letter is to me not to him
