I need to amend a client's 2020 individual tax return to claim the 2nd stimulus payment that wasn't received.  I can't find the 1040X.  In my recent update it says it is available for efile.  When I try find form it doesn't show 1040X.  Am I missing a step?

There are probably better ways to track down an EIP. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/second-eip-faqs#howdoi

Well, the client's husband said they received the second stimulus payment but they actually hadn't.  English is not his first language so I don't think he understood the question.  I filled out the recovery rebate worksheet so I need to amend the return.

Wait to see how the tax return processes.

The IRS may have the 2nd stimulus "sitting" on the taxpayers account, kind of like an estimated payment, and will send it to your client automatically.
