error with someone can claim

cubmanky — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 18:32:25 GMT

SO I did my taxes online with turbo tax. I did not get any of the stimulus payments The IRS said its due to me having it checked that someone can claim me as a dependent. I looked back and at my pdf file and it has the box "Your spouse as a dependent" was checked. we filled married but separate returns. Have no clue on why or how that box was checked. was this a glitch in the program.

No, not that we're aware of.

To amend your 2019 income tax return, see How do I amend a 2019 return in TurboTax?

If you were entitled to a stimulus payment but did not receive one, and you didn’t pay for TurboTax with your refund last year, you may need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 taxes to get your money.

Please see the following page for additional information: Why Haven’t I Received My Second Stimulus Check?

Thanks so much for the pictures. Could you please verify what happens when you log into each account, yours and your wife's and the corresponding paperwork? I am not able to get your result. You may need to clear your cookies and cache or change browsers completely.

Married filing separately should not generate dependent when not marked.

Don't try to amend 2019 for that. Don't worry about 2019 for the Stimulus payment.

The Stimulus Checks are 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."

After you have entered your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, it will be the first question.

If you are trying to trigger it, you can go to Other Situations, answer any questions and click Done. The next automatic selection is Federal Review and it will ask about payments received.
