Turbotax stimulus payment no ssc/itin

[Insulder1 2]

was married in april 2020. I the US citizen received the stimulus payment amounts for being single  i was finishing turbo tax  and it asks me about stimulus

 

(Quote turbotax) In general, taxpayers without an eligible Social Security number are not eligible for the payment. However, this law allows for married taxpayers filing jointly where one spouse has a Social Security number and one spouse does not, to be eligible for a payment of $600, in addition to $600 per child with a Social Security number.""     is this correct that my foreign spouse does receive the stimulus?   even though we are just now submitting w7 with the tax return to receive her itin#

No. Only the person with SSN receives their part of the stimulus.

No. SSN for her is required. The quoted part is saying if you (the US citizen) didn't receive your stimulus you can claim it when filing taxes. But you already received yours.

I'm in more or less the same situation except I did not receive any stimulus.  But specifically in the case of TurboTax,   In my situation I had to go in the menus to View>Forms>Recov Rebate Cr and manually complete the "Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet" with the actual facts as they actually exist.  After that TurboTax did it's magic TurboTax thing and accurately handled stimulus payment issues automatically thereafter.  TurboTax will conclude your foreign spouse does not receive the stimulus credit unless they had a valid ss# or one of you was US Military.

I apologize for bumping an old post but just thought I would bring this to the surface again, since it helped out with my 2021 taxes. 

 

In my case I started my returns using Turbotax Online. But come to find out that version does not allow one to modify the forms directly (it only has 'interview' mode). Fortunately there is a way to download the file to use in the desktop version, so I was able to switch over and correct my rebate credit form. I received $1400 in stimulus payments for 2021 but the program kept showing $2800, despite my wife being a nonresident alien without a SSN.

I couldn't specifically give any advice about that but it did somehow work correctly for me.  Maybe just double check everything in that form.  The only other tip for TurboTax that was really helpful for me is when it askes for your nonresident spouses SS# or ITIN, since she does not have one yet, fill it with the dummy ITIN "999-88-9999".  TurboTax will then give you an error message that the ITIN is "expired" but it will then make all of it's calculations with the correct assumptions for a "non-SS#" person.  Then before mailing the paper return simply correct the "999-88-9999" to "NRA"
