Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Turbotax asks me if I received the stimulus in 2020. When I select "no", it gives me a $1200 stimulus credit when my 2019 income was too high to be eligible for it. Why?

I shouldn't be eligible for this but see no way to opt out? I feel like it's priming me for an audit. Any help would be much appreciated!

The Recovery Rebate Credit is based on your 2020 tax return, not your 2019 tax return.
