Incorrect EIP3 amount

Does anyone know if I filled the wrong amount on my file, I filled $1400, but I'm married joint, it should be $2800, right? IRS sent me 6475 letters only showed $700 for each person.

How can I correct it?

If you did not get the full amount of the third Economic Impact Payment, you may be eligible to claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit and must file a 2021 Federal tax return – even if you don't usually file taxes - to claim it.

If you have already filed a 2021 Federal tax return, you may need to file an amended tax return

This IRS website states:

Payment amounts are different. The maximum credit is $1,400 per person, including all qualifying dependents claimed on a tax return.

The qualifications for the third stimulus payment are:

• you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2021,

• you were not a dependent of another taxpayer’s 2020 tax return, and

• you have a Social Security number.

There are income limitations are if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than:

• $150,000 if married and filing a joint return or filing as a qualifying widow or widower

• $112,500 if filing as head of household or

• $75,000 if filing as a single or as married filing separately.

If you did not receive the third stimulus payment, you may receive that amount through a Recovery Rebate Credit found on line 30 of the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return.

At your IRS online account, you can find whether a payment was issued to you that you did not receive. You can also find this information on your tax transcript.

If the IRS says that you received the third stimulus payment, You may request a payment trace to track your payment by mailing or faxing a completed IRS Form 3911 Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.
