I haven't received any of my 3 stimulus checks yet because they said I need to file a tax return even if I didn't work for that year.

I did not work in 2019 or 2020

You know I thought you guys were going to make this easier and you're giving me the same bull. I need that money. There's people that are lucky enough to have jobs and they've already received all 3 stimulus payments. Maybe i will try H&R Block again as much as I hate to

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return.  If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”)  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.

 

Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st and 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.
