Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I am 19 and my parents are not claiming me on their taxes. I do not recall seeing a question about the stimulus money which I did not get, did I do something wrong?

Line 30 on my return is blank, should it have had $1800? If I did something wrong how do I fix it?

If you didn't receive the full amount for your first or second-round stimulus payments, we'll help you claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your taxes this year.

We'll make sure you get the money you qualify for by double-checking the amount and quantity of stimulus payments you received.

Here’s how:

  • Enter all of your federal return information as you would normally. During the Federal Review, we’ll check if you meet eligibility requirements for the stimulus payment. If you meet the requirements, you'll see an It looks like you qualified for the stimulus, did you get any payments? screen. We'll ask a few questions about any payments you've already received and then let you know if the Recovery Rebate Credit applies.
    • If you need to make any changes to your stimulus credit responses, search for stimulus and select the jump-to link at the top of the search results to return back to the section. Enter your updated info and Continue.

I already submitted my tax return and obviously answered something wrong because it never asked me about the stimulus money, how do I amend my return so I get the stimulus money?

If you already e-filed your return, you must wait until your return is accepted before you can amend your return. For more information, please see How do I amend my 2020 TurboTax Online return? 

 

Once you elect to amend, you can follow these steps in TurboTax to enter information for the recovery rebate form:

  1. With your return open, search for stimulus with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
  2. Select the Jump to Stimulus in the search results to directly go to correct TurboTax page.
  3. You must enter 0 for the stimulus payments not received in order the credit to calculate correctly. 

It is important to keep in mind that the Recovery Rebate Credit is calculated based on your 2020 income. Per the IRS, your Recovery Rebate Credit amount will be phased out if your adjusted gross income for 2020 exceeds $150,000 if you are married filing a joint return or filing as a qualifying widow or widower, $112,500 if you are using the head of household filing status, or $75,000 if you are using any other filing status.
