Is there a definitive way to verify if I'm eligible?

[Marc-in-San-Diego]

I filed 2021 tax via TT and my line 30 is blank when viewing my documents. I vaguely remember when the third stimulus was announced for $1400 but reading the income limit was $75k or something. I made $82k so figured I was ineligible. I did however, claim head of household as I've always have and I have 5 dependents (I'm a single father raising 5 kids). I was not aware there was a different limit for head of household versus individual filing. If I'm entitled to this rebate and if this field was supposed to be populated, why wasn't it automatically populated by TT? I checked my 2021 transcripts but don't know where to look to see where (if anywhere) it indicates I will be receiving.  When I log into my IRS account and view Economic Impact Payment Info, it says Economic Impact Payment 3: $8,400.00.  Not quite sure what this means and I ended up paying taxes for 2021. I have not received any letter from the IRS either via mail or e-delivery on the website. Is there a way to definitively verify if I will be receiving this credit? It would be a lifesaver for my family and I.

The only way to verify if you will receive the stimulus payment would be to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. If the IRS website says your economic impact payment was $8,400 then you should have received that, if not the payment may have gotten lost somewhere. When you call the IRS they would be able to help you find out more about that.

The recovery rebate credit would be listed on line 30 of your 2021 tax return, but it is possible you received the associated stimulus payment automatically from the information listed on previous year tax returns. The fact that there is no amount on line 30 wouldn't necessarily mean you didn't receive the payment you were entitled to.

You have to answer several questions regarding the economic stimulus payment in TurboTax to see if you are eligible, so it is possible you didn't answer those questions since you didn't think you qualified for the stimulus payment. It is also possible that you answered the questions but you didn't qualify because you already received the stimulus payment. You have until April 15 of 2025 to file an amended return if necessary to receive the stimulus payment from 2021. You can prepare the amended return for free in TurboTax, you will see an option for that when you log into the program.
