Hi,

A MFJ taxpayer received $2400 ($1200 in April 2020, and $1200 in Jan 2021)

I have entered the payments on the recovery credit imput screen by taxpayer and Spouse Columns.

I thought they received full amount of Recovery rebates, but why they still receive another $1200 on their 1040 line 30?

Am I wrong?

The first stimulus was $1200 PER spouse. So if they received the full amount, they would have received a total of $2400 for the first stimulus. So you may want to double check how much they received.

Perhaps it would help to review what is really happening:

The funds were paid out as Advanced payment against a projection. The projection used 2018 or 2019 tax returns. But 2020 is the Actuals. You use the 2020 return to reconcile what a person is entitled to, against what they got.

You might want to bookmark these links and read the IRS guidance.

One for each EIP.

They got merried in 2020 and did not tell me received 1200 each.

Now I entered $1200 each for first round and $600 each for second round rebate

Line 30 is Zero.

Thanks!

Even when you asked?
