Did you receive an Economic Impact Payment (EIP) that you believe was for the wrong amount?

Did you receive an Economic Impact Payment (EIP) that you believe was for the wrong amount?

EIPs are payments issued to eligible taxpayers to help mitigate the financial effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The amount that eligible taxpayers can expect is based on income, filing state and family size.

If your check wasn’t for the amount you expected, the IRS wants you to know it isn’t able to correct payments or issue additional amounts at this time. If you’re eligible for more than you received, you can claim the extra amount on your 2020 tax return (to be filed in 2021).

The IRS will provide further details in the future. You can calculate eligibility here: https://bit.ly/3gaKn58
