Claimed stimulus check wrong

Hello,

 

when filing for 2020, I was asked if I received the 2 stimulus checks, total of $1800, I entered I had not received the $600 check but I actually did! (Hadn’t  noticed), I’m not sure how to fix my return to reflect both checks received and fix the total amount of the refund I actually need to receive without the extra $600

 

can anyone walk me thru how to fix this error?

Claimed stimulus check wrong

If your return has already been filed and Accepted, do nothing. The IRS will adjust it themselves.  See:

Claimed stimulus check wrong

Yes, I filed in March and when I check the status on IRS website, it’s still being processed so I figured if I tried to “amend” the mistake, it would get refunded faster
