Eligibility For Stimulus Check

Hi...We are married filling jointly.  Our 2019 income was high and we only received $80 for the first stimulus check. and nothing for the second one  Our 2020 income was much lower and we would qualify for a check.  Will we get that second check once we file our 2020 return?

If you qualify for a higher stimulus based on your 2020 income, you can claim the difference as the Recovery Rebate credit on your 2020 tax return.

 

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following:

  1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
  3. On the next page titled Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click on Continue
  4. Follow the interview
  5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.
