Second Stimulus

OhhCourtneyy21 · ‎February 19, 2021

When I filed my taxes I had yet to receive my second stimulus, so when filing my taxes I entered the $0 amount in the second stimulus box. Which then caused my refund amount to go up $1800. A few weeks later I got my stimulus in the mail. How will my return be impacted ? Will I have to do an amended return ?

You cannot make changes to a return that is in pending or to a return that has just been accepted.

We do not know if entering the wrong stimulus amount will delay your refund --- or for how long if it does. The IRS has not offered any guidance yet on how they will handle returns that have incorrect stimulus amounts entered. We all just have to wait and see. You are among many people who were confused and entered incorrect stimulus amounts, or who filed early and then received a check.
