    The Recovery Rebate Credit will be on the 2021 federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 30, if eligible.

     

    To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

     

    Start the 2024 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

     

    On the Tax Home webpage -

    Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

     

    If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

     

    Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

    For a fee of $30 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

    Look for the credit on line 30 of your 2021 Form 1040.      And......you also need to check your online account with the IRS to see what the IRS shows for you.

     

      You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

     

    Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

    Look at your online account with the IRS to see if they sent you $1400 in 2021.
