You can make an adjustment on your 2020 tax return for stimulus payments you qualify for, but have not received.

To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

Enter the information in your return.
Click Federal Review at the top of your screen.
On the screen, Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received.
TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to. This will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.

Yes, less than $200! This was based off of 2019. I was covid unemployed in 2020 and got the low-ball stimulus before I submitted 2020 taxes. Do I amend to get the rest, or do I have to wait until next year to get it?

@TC6872 It is common for the IRS to send a reduced stimulus check. Normally, you will get the balance within a few weeks of when you received the first payment.

If you entered the correct information on your 2020 tax return, it will do no good to amend it since it was correct to begin with. Otherwise, you can amend it.
