Economic Impact Payment 2021

How can I amend the amount of the Economic Impact Statement on my 2021 taxes.? I already filed them. I believe I said the amount was $4200, when in reality in was $2800.

How can I check what I put in the taxes?

If so, when I go to amend, where would I adjust?

Thanks

You should not amend your return. If the return which you filed has been accepted, then there is no need to amend the return. The IRS will check their records with the amount you entered and will adjust your return accordingly. However, if the amounts do not match, then there will be significant delays before you received your refund.

If the return which you filed, gets rejected for any reason, then you can fix the amount and file again.

To check the amounts you entered, please refer to Line 30 on Form 1040 which will show you the amount of credit included in your refund.

Thank you for the help.

I checked line 30 on the Federal form and it was blank. I will wait and see as per your suggestion.
