I did not get my first stimulus check, how can I find out if I was eligible and how can I claim that money?

Yes you can get them on your 2020 return if you qualify.  Have you filed yet?

When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any.  Enter a 0 in the box if you didn't get one.  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."

After you have entered your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, it will be the first question.

If you are trying to trigger it, you can go to Other Situations, answer any questions and click Done. The next automatic selection is Federal Review and it will ask about payments received.

If you didn't get one or both of the Stimulus payments or qualify for more it will be the Recovery rebate credit on 1040 line 30.  It either adds to your refund or reduced a tax due.

I'm wondering if they can take the first stimulus check for back child support?  My son did not receive the first one and he "assumed" it went for back child support.  But then he received the 2nd one.  Not sure how to do taxes this year because of not knowing about the first one.  If anyone knows the answer PLEASE let me know.
