A TY 2020 return is filed married filing jointly with 2 qualifying dependents and an AGI of $155,000. The taxpayers and their dependents all have valid SSNs. The AGI exceeds the $150,000 limitation, and EIP phase out applies.EIP 3:$155,000 − $150,000 = $5,000Calculating the reduction percentage:$5,000 ÷ $10,000 = .5 (50%)Because the reduction percentage is less than 100%, an EIP 3 will be issued.Calculating the amount of the credit:$1,400 × 4 = $5,600$5,600 (maximum credit) × 50% (reduction percentage) = $2,800 (amount of reduction)$5,600 (maximum credit) − $2,800 (amount of reduction) = $2,800 (amount of EIP 3)
