The IRS says we won’t get the check this year even if we do amend it. Many of us need the money urgently. That is the point of this money and it’s TurboTax’s fault we haven’t received it but they are blaming the users.
If you checked the "I can be claimed as a dependent" box by accident or on purpose, or the "My spouse can be claimed as a dependent" box on a married filing separately return, that's your fault. There is no way to know how that box got checked from looking at your file, and Turbotax says there is no bug.
The only possible bug situation would be the case where a Single taxpayer reported that they did not get a payment because the "my spouse" box was checked, because this should be impossible. But we don't have a diagnostic file from the customer who claimed that to verify what happened.
The payment will be recalculated on your 2020 tax return, and if you (or your spouse) qualify for a larger or additional payment that you did not already receive, the extra will be added to your 2020 tax refund that will be paid in the Spring of 2021 as part of the normal 2020 filing season.
