Stimulus check

[crichardson552]

IRS denied stimulus payment, as calculated on pro series tax return. What do I do to correct this for refund

[Terry53029]

Have your client create an account on IRS. Then your client can see the exact amount of the stimulus checks sent to them 

[crichardson552]

The tax was filed (from the program) that included the stimulus check they did not receive because of their income. The program showed a refund of adjusted stimulus check but

IRS did not sent the stimulus which should have been paid by them.

if your client truly didnt get one of the advanced EIP payments, use Form 3911 to trace it and get it reissued if in fact they truly didnt get it.

Call the practitioner help line and discuss it with them. OR give many more details and we might be able to help.

The 1st and 2nd checks are advances on 2020 tax return, and the income limits apply to that tax year.

The third check applies to 2021 tax return (not filed yet), and the income limits apply to that tax year. If you are saying your clients did not receive, because of income, why would you ask for the refund on 2020 tax return

Income to Receive Full Stimulus Payment (first, second, and third check)	First Stimulus Check Maximum Income Limit	Second Stimulus Check Maximum Income Limit	Third Stimulus Check Maximum Income Limit
Single Filer	$0 – $75,000	$99,000	$87,000	$80,000
Married Filing Jointly	$0 – $112,500	$198,500	$174,000	$160,000
Head of Household	$0 – $150,000	$146,000	$124,000	$120,000

So you are saying that they received one EIP, but not the other?  And they were not eligible for the second one, when originally issued, because of their income?  So why did they get the first one?  Or maybe they received the second and not the first?  

May be like my client who denied she received the $600 when asked in February, but now remembers that it was paid.  

I can't be too critical of those engaging in idle speculation here based on lack of information, because I'm doing it myself.

Pro-series evidently doesn't have form #3911 to use, right?

No, you have to grab it from the IRS website and fill in and fax to the IRS. But before you go through that hassle, make them look at their 2021 bank statements, March-June and see if they spot those $1400 deposits.
