Filed as an Independent and Single but haven't received either stimulus checks. Will I ever get any sort of payment?

[jasonyoo101]

In my 2019 returns, I filed as single and an independent but I have yet to receive any form of stimulus payment. I called the IRS and they told me no one has claimed me as a dependent so I should have been eligible.

When I check the "Get my Payment" site, it just tells me there's not enough information available.

What should I do?

The IRS advises people that if they don’t receive the full Economic Impact Payment they should file their 2020 tax return electronically and claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their tax return to get their payment and any refund as quickly as possible.

What version of Turbotax is that?

I believe I used the online version? There were NO BOXES to fill in the exact amounts to in what I saw.

Just two questions: 1. Did you receive the first $1200 stimulas check?

Yes, No (check 1)

2. Did you receive the second $1200 stimulas check?

Yes, No (check 1).

And then a button to take me to the next page if memory servers me.

You may not readily see the interview sheet in your tax return. The screenshot does not say which version of TurboTax is being used but is available at all levels. 

The Rebate Recovery Credit section is at the beginning of the Federal Review. But, to see it, you need to be at the end of Other Tax Situations, first.

 To get there in TurboTax Online, follow these steps:

• In your return, click the Other Tax Situations tab toward the top of the page
• Scroll down to the end and click Let's keep going
• At Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue
• Be sure to report an amount for each of the stimulus payments as received. If the particular payment was not received at all, enter 0 and click Continue

For more information, please refer to: Questions and Answers about the Second Economic Impact Payment which is still getting updates. 

To check your payment status with the IRS, go to: Get My Payment Link

Too late, I already e-filed. :(

We're waiting to see what the IRS does now.  From what I've read on their site, they're not doing to treat Line 32 as a math error.

I do have a stimulus payment form April 2020 to input but cannot get that page to appear- very frustrating!

You may be able to access your stimulus check choices by following these steps: 

• Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
• Across the top of the screen, click on Other Tax Situations.
• At the screen Let’s keep going to wrap up.  Click on Let’s keep going.
• At the screen Let’s make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
• At the screen Did you get a stimulus payment? you can update your stimulus check entries. 

If you have not received one or both of your stimulus checks, you will receive your payment in the form of a Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of your 2020 Federal tax return when you file.

TurboTax will compare your one or two stimulus payment amounts to the computations within TurboTax.  The computations within TurboTax are based upon the information that you have entered into the tax software.  If you are due an additional amount, it will be issued as a Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2020 1040 tax return.

In TurboTax Online, you are also prompted to input stimulus check 1 and stimulus check 2 information under Review down the left hand side of the screen.
