3rd stimulus error, filed 1/31

[Clb621]

Hey guys! I filed my tax return on 1/31 via TT and accepted 30 minutes later. 1 bar w/ topic 152 on WMR and no updated transcripts as of this morning. Filed single, pretty straightforward return, no kids / child credits, not PATH.

I claimed the recovery rebate credit for 3rd stimulus bc I did not think I received one in March of last year. However yesterday, I received letter 6475 from the IRS stating I DID receive a 3rd stimulus. In reality, I’m pretty sure I did receive the payment but it was right before I changed banks and I don’t have access to see my old account; it also shows on my 2021 account transcript.

So I’m guessing my refund will probably be delayed and short the $1,400 I actually received in March of last year? Anyone else make this mistake on the 3rd stimulus question and have you received your return yet? Or any idea how long it will be delayed? Should I file an amended return or just wait it out until I hit 21 days? Any advice / ideas appreciated!

WMR updated 2bars with stimulus amount subtracted with recieve by 3/1 date. Transcripts have 864 02/24/22 so I’m thinking deposit will be within next few days. So with 3rd stimulus error I filed on 1/24 and got 864 on 02/17. Not bad at all.

I actually recieved 8400 for 3rd stimulus when they should have given me only 4200 , I figured they’d make me pay it back out of my taxes when I filed but I don’t have to Thank the Lord because I spent in on a breast augmentation In May !! Thank you to the IRS !

You Don’t need to file an amended return, the irs will automatically adjust your refund , so yes it will be 1400 less than expected but other than that it shouldn’t change anything else.

My bars disappeared and I have tax code 152 with no amount. Stressing out? Anybody got any update Or insight?

[Clb621]

Thanks everyone! Gonna wait it out and hopefully will see an update in the next week or so. Good to know I’m not the only one!

@marino13 Thanks! Let me know when you see a DDD. I will do the same, but as of this morning WMR still on 1 bar and transcripts N/A.

Filed my daughters Taxes, same thing occurred. She mistakenly claimed it, as she did get it. She Realized it after I submitted her return .

[Oh,thereyouare]

I agree w @Bri, do anything but amend unless you want a potential nightmare! It will be adjusted hopefully by irs, shouldn’t delay it much more than extra week if that. If so, wait your 21 days, then contact irs for questions. Good luck !!

I did the same thing and filed 1/26 . With me making that error I owe $500 so I’m assuming I will owe more . My transcripts have yet update

[Brii]

I would wait and see. Who knows how much longer you would have to wait if you amended now.

[The Truth]

I did the same thing.. My transcript is already updated with the correct amount(credit balance) and I have a pending further action code with an as of cycle date of 2/28/2022 so I’m thinking my 864 code will be within the next 3/4 days with a DDD of 2/21 or 2/22. I’ll keep you posted. The reason I made the mistake was I read it as “did you get a 3 stimulus checks in 2021?”. I read that like 15% of filers so far have made this error. Good Luck
