Stimulus

[Erin18]

Hello! I filed my taxes back in January along with the stimulus checks that I did not receive last year. I’ve only received my state and federal return and when I go onto the IRS website to track my stimulus checks, it says there is nothing to track. Does anyone know if I’ll be receiving those checks and has this happened to anyone else?

If you filed for the Recovery Rebate Payment on your tax return, it will be included as your tax refund.  You will not check on the IRS website for the Stimulus payments, but with your regular refund.

I didn’t get it in my refund, what should I do next?

If your return is fully processed and you believe you did not complete the stimulus section, then you can amend your tax return.  TurboTax will have this available March 25th. It is filed on Form 1040X.  This is a normal timeframe based on the late start to the e-file by IRS this year.

• EIP Info Center - Use this page to verify you are eligible for the stimulus payments.

Once you are ready to amend your return follow the steps provided in these links.
