I filed an amended return because my son was not claimed as a dependent will I get another stimulus check?

Question

Will I get an updated stimulus check once the amended return is accepted

Answer 1

No, the stimulus checks are calculated on the original return.  There are only a few situations where amendments are taken into consideration, and dependency claims are not.

Answer 2

No. The stimulus check amount was based on your 2007 1040 original filing. However, as long as your son is younger than "17" then you have not lost the additional funds. The 2008 form 1040 will include a step that will permit you to receive the amount not paid for your dependant.
