You may be entitled to receive the Recovery Rebate Credit when you prepare your 2020 income tax return.

 

The amount of the Rebate Recovery Credit is based upon your actual 2020 income tax return you file.  Therefore, if you meet the criteria for the credit, you will receive it when you prepare your 2020 income tax return.  The credit is intended to give those who should have received a stimulus payment but never did a tax credit on their tax returns.  Any excess credit is then refunded to you if there is an overpayment on your tax return.

 

Please see the attached link for more information on who can claim the credit.

 

Recovery Rebate Credit eligibility

 

When you prepare your 2020 income tax return, be sure to do the following to ensure the credit is calculated correctly on your income tax return. 

  1. In the Federal section, select the Federal Review interview section at the top of the screen.
  2. This will take you to the input section for the Recovery Rebate credit.
  3. Be sure to indicate the actual amount of each stimulus payment you received on the page that asks if you received a stimulus payment.  The first box should have the amount you received and you will need to enter 0 in the second box.
