I received $1,700 for the CARES Act stimulus but should have gotten $2,200 due to my two children. How do I recover the additional $500 that I should have received?

The first 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 didn't get a Stimulus Check (and qualify) or you qualify for more it will be added to your 2020 return.  But the good news is if they paid you too much they won't take it back.

When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any.  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."

Thanks for the info! Was just making sure TurboTax would have a solution for this and that I wouldn't have to file through a CPA.
