Are you factoring in BOTH credits?  $1200 per adult for the first credit, and $600 per adult for the second credit?  So if they did not receive any advance payments, it would be $3600 of credits.

The first one was 1,200 + 1,200 for 2,400.on MFJ no dependents.

The second one was for 600 + 600 for 1,200 on MFJ no dependents.

The two add up to 3,600 total.

Hi lets keep it simple 

MFJ with no children

AGI 155,000 in 2020 

Did not receive a stimulas check in 2020 because filed returns for 2018 and 2019 income was too high   

What is the rebate recovery calculated by Pro series ???  It cannot be more than $2,400

Yes it can. The maximum for MFJ with no dependent children is $3,600.

Look at the worksheet and the instructions and recalculate it yourself.
