The Stimulus Check is really based on 2020 tax return. Any amount you already got will be reconciled on your 2020 return line 30. If you didn't get a Stimulus Check (and qualify) or you qualify for more it will be added to your 2020 return. But the good news is if they paid you too much they won't take it back.

When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any. Or to enter your stimulus payment in TurboTax, type "stimulus" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to stimulus."

Line 30 is on your next year's 2020 tax return. You can't finish or file 2020 yet.

If you are eligible the Recovery Rebate Credit (stimulus payment) will be entered on your 2020 Federal Tax Return, Form 1040, on Line 30.

TurboTax will ask about the stimulus payment received or not received in 2020.

@Cris314 After completing the Other Tax Situations section of the program you will be asked about the stimulus payment received or not received in 2020.

When using the TurboTax online editions you can view your Form 1040 at any time. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
