Stimulus Check for "Your Spouse as a dependent"

[VolvoGirl]

When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got.  Or to enter your stimulus payment in TurboTax, type "stimulus" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to stimulus."

The Stimulus Check is really based on your 2020 return we are filing in 2021.  So any amount you already got will be reconciled on your 2020 return line 30.  If you qualify for more it will be added to your return.  But the good news is if they paid you too much they won't take it back.

See this thread, it has good information and a screen shot

Will do @klauguste.

Also, just a FYI, the "Get my Payment" tool on the IRS site did not update even for a processed Amended form - in case anyone was wondering

Thanks for the update and glad youre on line again.

1. They wont revert to the 2018 tax return for this new stimulus so you should get the $600

2. Theres an outside chance you will get the first $1200 based on the amended you did. So please let us know . 
3. If it doesnt come then when you file 2020 there is a form out there to claim it . So you should get the refund ... turbo T should have when they release the 2020 . 
Ok keep us posted

If they do not issue the first stimulus check by the time you file the return at the end of January then indicate so on the 2020 return ... they will NOT issue the stimulus money after the end of the year since there is the option to get it on the 2020 return after all it is a 2020 credit.
