Amending

I received the first 2 stimulus checks pretty much right away when they started to distribute them. I have not received my 3rd one yet so I started to think and reviewed my tax return and noticed I mistakenly said that someone can claim me as a dependent when no one does. In all my other tax returns I never said someone can claim me. So I amended my 2020 tax return and fixed it. Do I have any chance of getting this 3rd stimulus check?

Similar to 2020, if you do not receive the payment, you will be able to take a refundable credit on your 2021 tax return. I wouldn't count on see it anytime soon. Amended returns are generally processed after the current filing season is finished. You can track the progress of your amended return. Click here for a link to the Where's my Amended Return.

amended returns are processed in the order received.

Once IRS notices that you are qualified for EIP3, you should get it.

So maybe expect it sometime this year?
