If you did not receive your first and/or second stimulus payments, you can claim them on your 2020 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit.

 

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following:

  1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
  3. On the next page titled Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click on Continue
  4. Follow the interview
  5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

Yes this was helpful. I was actually confused on which check I had not received. The first two that i missed came back on my taxes and i guess once i get those the other will follow. Thank you so much for your quick response and easy directions!
