Why did I only get half of my stimulus payment? I qualify for $1800 and only got $900 so far.

I don’t understand why I only got half. I owe nothing to nobody.

You can make an adjustment on your 2020 tax return for stimulus payments you qualify for, but have not received. 

To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

1. Enter the information in your return.
2. Click Federal Review at the top of your screen. 
3. On the screen, Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
4. You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received. 
5. TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to.  This will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.

So in other words, we are not getting the other half? I’m so sick and tired of all of this!! This is the WORSE time for all this mess up!! During a pandemic at that! People are depending on these funds, now you guys say “oh sorry, you’ll have to wait”,  Smh just ridiculous. The bank is saying call IRS, IRS is saying call you guys.. smh 

This is crazy!

If your adjusted gross income (AGI) is below,

• $75,000 for individuals
• $112,500 for heads of household
• $150,000 for married, joint filers

you should receive $600 per taxpayer plus $600 per qualifying dependent child.  Children have to be 16 or younger as of Dec. 31, 2020 to qualify.  @Delldani1

I believe TurboTax held the other half. They are holding it so we will have to file our taxes with them to get the other half. It's a way they can get more business. I'm pretty sure it's against the law. I'm having my attorney look into this.

[Delldani1]

Are you serious!? I believe it because when I called TT tried to act like they had no idea what I was saying. Here’s the kicker.. they keep saying “you can file it on your taxes” THAT’S NOT ENTIRELY  TRUE- now it will be used as a “tax credit” meaning that it ISNT an additional (900 in our case) amount on top of your refund, it’s used as a tax credit, in other words if you paid too little in taxes that money you THOUGHT you were getting (and should because it’s owed to every American) is gonna go towards that obligation! Funny how they are not explaining this!! I’m beyond pissed! You have a right to be as well! To give us only HALF of what’s owed it’s nonsense (and I want to say other words lol) please let me know what your attorney says!  

[Jpgroody]

No. Not my fault. I qualify for $1800, no more or no less. TurboTax gave me $900 and kept the other $900. This is not legal at all. I want my other $900. I'm NOT filing and paying TurboTax to get the other $900 that TurboTax stole from me!

[Jpgroody]

Your dumbass must work for TurboTax. Probably getting a cut of the money stolen from me by TurboTax.

[DanPaul02]

It is a refundable credit.  So it gets applied to any taxes you owe and then your get the rest added to your refund.  The IRS can tell you why you only got $900 .  

[DanPaul02]

TurboTax did not give you $900.  The IRS did.  You can file with any company or on paper to get the money if it is owed to you.

[Delldani1]

@DanPaul02 The funny thing is... what you are saying is FALSE! Not only did I speak to the IRS but I spoke to Turbo Tax as well PNC bank ALL of which pointed fingers at one another... before you speak please know facts!!! The IRS said I should have gotten ALL of my stimulus as I did the FIRST stimulus and I DID NOT OWE ANYONE OR ANYTHING, the bank said they only deposited what TT SENT THEM to direct deposit, and lastly, TT said they sent the bank what the IRS sent them (mistakenly) to send me which should have been the full 1800 according to the IRS. So please state what you know and do not assume it makes you look like an idiot! As for the refundable tax credit, THAT’S WHAT BOTH THE IRS AS WELL AS TURBO TAX SAID TO ME YESTERDAY so if you have an issue with that I don’t know what to tell you! Speak facts please!  

[Delldani1]

@Jpgroody I hope that is not meant for me. 

[mrsninja88]

i am in the same boat, should have got 3000 and only got 1500. the IRS would send increments of 600 there is no reason it would have been 1500. this is fishy as hell and they are not taking responsibility for screwing up on their end. 

[Jpgroody]

It definitely is very fishy. This has to stop. TurboTax needs to come clean on this and release the FULL amount. I even filed a complaint with the BBB on this.  I'm due money and I believe TurboTax stole it.

TurboTax is not a bank, it cannot send or receive a stimulus payment.  Only the IRS controls when and if a stimulus payment is distributed.

Go to this IRS get my payment website - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

If you do not receive any other stimulus payments by January 15, 2021, then the stimulus payment for which you are eligible to receive will be entered on your 2020 federal tax return as a tax credit on Form 1040 Line 30.

The TurboTax program will ask about stimulus payments in the Federal Review section of the program.
