How would I request for stimulus money that i have not received if i already filed my 2020 taxes

If you filed your 2020 tax return but did not claim the Recovery Rebate Credit then you will have to file an amended tax return (Form 1040-X) to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit after your original return has been processed. Please be aware that you can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return. Please see FAQ How to amend a tax return for instructions.

But please check line 30 on Form 1040 first if you claimed the correct amount of Recovery Rebate Credit before starting the amended tax return.

To claim the credit in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

1. Log into TurboTax.
2. After entering all your information click "Federal Review" at the top of your screen. 
3. On the screen "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount" click "Continue".
4. You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received.  If you did not receive a payment enter "0".
5. TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to get. 
6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.

If you didn’t get your full first and second stimulus payments, you may be eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return.

To be eligible for the credit you need to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020 and have a Social Security number that is valid for employment.

You cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else to be eligible. 

Your recovery Rebate Credit amount will be reduced if your 2020 adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than: 

• $150,000 if married and filing a joint return or filing as a qualifying widow or widower
• $112,500 if filing as head of household or
• $75,000 for eligible individuals filing as a single or as married filing separately.  

Your payment will be reduced by 5% of the amount by which your AGI exceeds the applicable threshold above. (IRS FAQ Recovery Rebate Credit )

The third round of Economic Impact Payments will be based on the taxpayer's latest processed tax return from either 2020 or 2019.  If the IRS has received and processed a taxpayer's 2020 return, the agency will instead make the calculation based on that return.

Please see How will the third stimulus impact me? for additional information.

IRS told me to file 2020 tax return to get my first stimules check of 1,200 it is called recovery rebate credit and you won't let me in and I gave you the codes

First, please look at line 30 on your 2020 tax year 1040. The TurboTax program should have asked if you received the stimulus payments, and if so how much the payments were. 

If you reported the missing 1,200, that amount would be listed as a credit on line 30. 

If you don't see the credit on line 30, please follow the directions below to amend the 2020 Tax Year return:
