In order to file previous year tax returns, you need to use the programs from the previous years. You will need to use the download version and then print and mail the return. You can use this link to get the past year programs.
You have until April 15th to file for 2021 to claim a refund. You can only claim a refund for 3 years after the date the return was due.
The stimulus checks were for 2020 and 2021. There have not been any federal stimulus checks since 2021, so you have not "missed" any checks for 2022, 2023 or 2024.
TurboTax does not know who will receive the stimulus checks that the IRS is sending. The IRS has identified some people who were eligible for the 3rd EIP payment who did not receive it and did not use the recovery rebate credit on their 2021 tax returns, so the IRS is sending out those payments. You should check your online account with the IRS---many people received the 3rd stimulus before they filed their 2021 return, so they did not need to use the credit on their tax return.
Look at your online account with the IRS to see if they sent you $1400 in 2021.

If you could be claimed as someone else's dependent in 2021, you are not eligible for the payment.
If you were eligible and do not receive a payment soon from the IRS, the other way to get the payment is to r amend your 2021 return to use the recovery rebate credit before April 15, 2025. If you did not file a 2021 return at all, then prepare one and mail it in.
