Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

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

Should I enter the amount I actually recieved for the third stimulus or the amount that is on my IRS account because they are drastically different?

The amount I recieved is less than the amount that is on my IRS account.

Enter what you actually received as a third stimulus payment in TurboTax. TurboTax will show you what you should have received.

 

You will get the difference as a Recovery Rebate Credit as part of your 2021 refund.

 

To get to the stimulus section in TurboTax online:

  • Type "stimulus" in Search in the upper right
  • Click "Jump to stimulus"
  • TurboTax will ask whether the amount you are eligible for matches what you got.
  • If it doesn't, say NO
  • TurboTax will let you enter the actual amount

If you don’t know how much stimulus you received, click Get My Payment
