Question

How do I claim the Recovery Rebate credit for a child born in 2020 that did not receive a 3rd stimulus payment? TT only calculates adults payments for the rebate.

When you enter that you only got 2800 for the 2 parents the program will automatically give you the 1400 for the child  ... look at form 1040 line 30.

Sorry, no it did not.  TT states I should receive 2,800, but it should say 4,200.  So when I enter 2,800 for my wife and I, it states I have received my full payment.  Which I have not.

Well do you have the child listed correctly in the MY INFO section ?  Look at the form 1040 ... is the child listed there and is box 4 checked for the CTC qualifier? 

 

How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?

You can view your entire return or just your 1040 form before you e-file:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools in the left menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner).
  3. With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
    • Select Print Center and then Print, Save, or Preview This Year's Return to preview your entire return, including all forms and worksheets (you may be asked to register or pay first).
    • View only your 1040 form by selecting Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu.

 

 

 

If not then go back to the MY INFO section and review this screen for a child born in 2021 ... this screen is where most errors are made ...
