Did you report that you did not receive the 2nd stimulus payment when you were completing the 2020 federal tax return in the Federal Review section of the program where you were asked about the stimulus payments?

If you received the 1st stimulus payment of $1,200 in early 2020 and the 2nd stimulus payment of $600 in January or February of 2021 then you have received all the payments that would be reported on the 2020 tax return in regards to the Recovery Rebate Credit. You should have indicated on the 2020 tax return that both stimulus payments, EIP1 and EIP2, were received so they would not be included in your 2020 federal tax refund

The third stimulus payment is not part of the 2020 tax return. It is being distributed by the IRS based on the 2019 or 2020 federal tax return received by the IRS.

The IRS is wayyyy behind in processing some returns that need human reviews so until the return is processed the third stimulus will not be issued. If the new address is on the return then all will eventually be fine. If it is not then send in a form 8822 and put a forwarding address in with the USPS.

The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new tax laws and extra stimulus filings, as well as unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown. Lots of other folks are still waiting (some since mid-February), so please continue to be patient. Also see:

Have you checked your status here: TurboTax and IRS ?

Although the IRS has processed and issued most refunds from e-filed returns around 21 days, because of the pileup caused by Covid, CARES Act, stimulus and the American Rescue Plan Act, some of the returns will require more time to review.

Several items can delay the processing of the 2020 return ... some of which are :

> unemployment

> repayment of the PTC

> stimulus credit on line 30 of the 2020 form 1040

> if you used the 2019 earned income for the 2020 EIC &/or CTC/ACTC

> if you have prior year balance dues or unfiled returns

> the info on the W-2 doesn't match what the employer sent in and/or the employer's W-2 is not yet on file

> a variety of other items that require humans to look at

Due to understaffing and over tasking at the IRS again this year many returns will be delayed for as much as months. The aging computer system is being over taxed trying to process millions of 2019 returns and 2020 returns (some of which will need extra processing this year due to the late tax law changes) AND putting out the third stimulus payments. If you want to vent to someone then contact your local congress person and demand they fund the IRS sufficiently so that they can hire enough people and update their computer systems to handle all of the demands made upon this agency. The IRS can only do so much with the continued reductions to their budget.
