The only way to receive the first EIP payment now is by filing a 2020 tax return--or by amending the 2020 tax return that you already filed---in order to use the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review to get the first EIP payment.

Select your tax year for amending instructions:

You will have to amend the 2020 tax return for the Recovery Rebate Credit that you did not receive.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2020 tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-my-return/00/27439

 

You should check your tax account to see if the IRS has sent the stimulus payment to you - https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account
