Line 30 Left Blank

rmayfield85 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:58:00 GMT

After filing my 2021 return, I realized that Line 30 (pertaining to the Stimulus payment) was left blank in error. I did receive a payment. I filed my taxes on January 24th and they were accepted by the IRS the same day. The IRS app and Where’s My Refund both say that my return is still “processing”, over a month after filing. I’m unsure if the delay is due to leaving Line 30 blank or if it’s because I am to receive the other half of the Child Tax Credit (I know lawfully they couldn’t release any returns with CTC prior to February 15th). Will the IRS correct this? Or should I go ahead and file an amended return without the IRS having reached out to me stating there’s an issue with Line 30 being left blank? I know that this can cause more delays that I’d like to avoid if I don’t have to go the amended return route. Thanks in advance!

If you already received the 3rd EIP payment last year then line 30 should be blank.

If you are getting the child tax credit that is on line 28.

21 days is not a promise----it was only an estimate. Please watch the IRS refund site for information about your refund.
