According to the IRS site, I am NOT getting a second stimulus check! I dont understand why! I got one last time and I am eligible! I was counting on that. Is there an explanation as to why I am not getting one? Everyone else I know did!

Many of the IRS statuses are vague and also some are inaccurate, particularly for customers affected by the IRS processing error.

If you filed an eligible 2019 tax return, you may still receive a payment. If you have not received it by January 15, 2021, you will need to claim the payment in the form of a credit on your 2021 tax return.

I just filed my income tax yesterday, I never received the 2nd stimulus check, I didn’t see a prompt for if you didn’t receive your check. Now that I’ve already filed, how do o get my stimulus? Travis Hehn

It depends.

First, I would recommend looking at your return to ensure the Recovery Rebate Credit was not already included in your return.

You will need to look at your Form 1040. If you claimed the Recovery Rebate Credit, it will show up on Page 2, line 30 of your Form 1040 as the Recovery Rebate Credit. See the sample form below.

Recovery Rebate Credit

This amount is generated from TurboTax based upon your input as follows in the Federal Review input section.

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

If there is no amount entered in the Recovery Rebate Credit section above, you would need to amend your return to calculate it.
