Amending 2021 Taxes to Include Letter 6475

I have already filed my 2021 taxes. My wife received Letter 6475 Economic Impact Payment after we filed jointly. I already received mine and added it to my taxes before we filed. Can I amend my taxes to include the 6475 letter that was received after I filed?

No. Do not amend for this. The IRS will cross check to see how much you and your spouse received for the 3rd EIP payment. The IRS will remove any incorrect amount you put on line 30 for you. Expect to wait longer for your refund.

No, there is no need to amend your tax return.

Letter 6475 shows the Economic Impact Payment you received in 2021. When filing your return in TurboTax, you would have been asked how much payment you had received. TurboTax, would have provided you with the amount you should have received based on the information you had entered. If you clicked on Yes, that means you agree with the amounts you received are same as the one TurboTax is suggesting and this would have had no further impact on your tax return.

However, if you clicked on No, it would have asked you to manually type in the amounts you received and this amount should tie with the Letter 6475 you received. Also, this amount should be the total of what you and your wife received. If you entered the correct amounts you received and this total ties to what you have on your Letter 6475 and what your wife has on her own Letter 6475, then no change is needed.

However, if the amounts you entered don't tie with the amounts listed on Letter 6475, then this will cause delays to your refund. You don't need to amend your return and the IRS will adjust the amounts accordingly. However, due to this, your refund will now be delayed and it will take extra time for the IRS to process your return.

We had a baby in 2021 and I accidentally clicked that I received the correct amount

but we actually didn’t receive 1400 for the new baby

We have received our refund and am trying to amend but I cannot find anywhere to amend this

Check your line 30 on your 2021 return----the software might have put the stimulus on there for the baby without you even noticing it.

If you really need to amend ----the Form 1040X will not be available until late March.
