Question

EIP1 and EIP2 (Stimulus 1 and 2)

Hi,

 

My wife became US resident since November 2020. We forgot to claim EIP1 & 2 in our 2020 taxes for her. Can we claim EIP1 & 2 in 2021 tax year? If we can, can we claim it via recovery tax credit or via any other means? We do not want to file amendment, if we do not have any other option, then we want to choose an amendment. Is there a way to claim EIP 1 & 2 now for her without amendment to 2020 taxes? If there is a way, how do we claim EIP1 & 2 this tax year? 

 

Thank You!

    Amend the 2020 return for the missed 1 & 2 stimulus payments.   Only the third stimulus payment is reconciled on the 2021 return.

      amendment for EIP aka Rebate Credit is pretty easy.

      You must have a SSN.

      Enter the amount you did not get on Line 15 Other. In the space, write "Rebate Credit".

      Expect to wait seven months or more for any results.

        @fanfare, we do have SSN. However, is there a separate form just to claim EIP 1 & 2 only?
