I e-filed March 9 with Turbo Tax and I was supposed to get around $5K because I did not receive 2020 stimulus checks for me or my family.

 

Two months later, IRS finally direct-deposit my refund to my bank account in 2 transactions with recalculation for the new unemployment tax refund which is about $1500 more than my original refund. But that amount is $456 less than Turbo Tax is showing after the software updated for the unemployment tax refund.

 

What should I do?

    Wait for a letter from the IRS.  They may have changed something else on your return as well. They do not notify TT.

    It turned out I made a mistake on the tax return with first round of stimulus. Now I don't know how to do amend on a tax file when I made a mistake the first time on Turbotax.
