Amend 2021 Return for 3rd Stimulus

Swh — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:36:39 GMT

I answered that I had received the 3rd stimulus and I filed my 2021 return. Now I realized I did not receive so I am amending my return. I can't figure out how to do this in TurboTax (I can amend just can't fix the stimulus amount). Does anyone know how?

The IRS says this:

If you need to file an amended return – even if you don’t usually file taxes - to claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, use the worksheet in the1040SR to determine the amount of your credit. Enter the amount on the Refundable Credits section of the Form 1040-X and include "Recovery Rebate Credit" in the Explanation of Changes section.

Do not amend until your return has been processed and any tax liability settled. The IRS might adjust your return for you.

Type stimulus or recovery rebate credit in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen and Enter. Click on Jump to stimulus or Jump to recovery rebate credit.

This did take me to the review portion of TT but never asked me about Stimulus. Perhaps because it is being amended.

include your EIP3 amount on 1040-X line 15.

check the "other" box and write "rebate credit" in the space provided.
