first time filing

I am a single student and filing for the first time.  Turbo Tax is asking if I receive a third stimulus check.  I did not because i was a dependent last year.  If  I put no, it automatically add the $1400.  Is that correct and will it affect me in any which way?

Yes, that is the correct way.  Since you personally did not receive it, you are able to claim it this year on your return.
