Question

Trying to amend my daughter's return, she missed 1 stimulus payment. She didn't make enough $ last year to file the return so the amount turbo tax submitted was 0

When I search for help it says turbo tax will walk us through the federal filing and ask if she missed a payment but it didn't do that when we filed. I'm trying to do an amended return but it just keeps skipping that part when I can enter the missing stimulus payment?

If your daughter is qualified based on the requirements and her 2020 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), and did not get the full amount of the stimulus payments, then she may be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit.

Please follow the steps below:

With your return open, search for stimulus with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
Select the Jump to Stimulus in the search results to directly go to correct TurboTax page.
You will come to a page titled Let's double-check the amount you received and it will list the first-round and second-round payments based on your 2020 return.
Answer No for the question, Is this what you received?
Enter the amounts of the first and second round stimulus payments you received. I have attached a screenshot below for additional guidance.

Your Recovery Rebate Credit will be the difference between what she was qualified for on her 2020 tax return less the amount of her first and second stimulus payments she has already received.

If the Recovery Rebate Credit is still not showing, then please review the requirements below to ensure that she does qualify to receive the stimulus payment.

To qualify, you must:

Be a US citizen or resident alien.
Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
Have an 2020 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint. If your AGI is above this amount, your payment will be reduced.

That's what it tells me to do but as I stated in my question, it's not prompting me to update anything, it just says everything looks fine.

When you do the steps below, what happens? These steps should take you to the stimulus questions UNLESS her income is too high or if she is marked as a dependent on another return - was that box marked by any chance?

Enter the amounts of the first and second round stimulus payments you received.
