Does TurboTax already know your 2021 Economic Impact payment the IRS had issued? Let's say I didn't have the paper when I filed, will they know the amount?

No, the IRS does not tell us what you receive. The IRS does know what they sent you and will cross check what you claimed with what they sent, if you are claiming a refund from missed stimulus on your return.

No.  Turbo Tax just asks if you got the right amount based on the number of  people you entered on your tax return.   Like if you are married with 2 children it will ask if you got 5,600.  You have to enter what you actually got spot see if you qualify for more.

 

If you didn't get the IRS letter 6475 saying what they sent you then check your bank account or Check your IRS account
