Check the amounts you entered as stimulus payments and also check how you entered your newborn.
The IRS considers a baby born during the year to have lived with you for 12 months. Make sure you entered “The whole year” and not months, for example, two months if the baby was born in November.
Then check that you entered the correct amount for the first and second stimulus payments you received.
Finally check your tax return.
I received another form today I need to add to my tax return. Totally forgot about this. Can I amend my file?
You cannot change or add anything on the return that you e-filed. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox
Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. Which won't be until Feb 12 this year. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and add or change it and resend it. Click on Add a State to let you back into your return..
If the IRS accepts your return, then you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or paid the tax due. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return 1040X and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return. Meanwhile, DO NOT change anything on your return until you start the amended return. If you did change or add the missing info then take it out and put your return back to the way it was when you first filed it.
