Question

Why do I qualify for a stimulus credit when I already received both stimulus checks?

I got the full amount of both stimulus checks, but when I add them to the question in Turbotax, it says I qualify for a stimulus credit. Is  this a glitch in Turbotax?

Please ensure that you have enter the received stimulus payments into TurboTax.

 

To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

  1. Log into TurboTax.
  2. After entering all your information click "Federal Review" at the top of your screen. 
  3. On the screen "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount" click "Continue".
  4. You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received.  Please enter both payments.
  5. TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to get. 
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.

 

For additional information please see Stimulus FAQ at the end of the TurboTax article
