I made a mistake on reporting my second stimulus payment. How do I revise this input?

Regarding first and second stimulus checks, I answered incorrectly on second payment -  answered "No" , need to change to "Yes".  How do I revise this on TurboTax?
No I have not filed, still filling out form. Just can't find way to edit.
Thanks.

Go to the search bar up top and type in stimulus (make sure you are all the way inside of your return or search does not function), hit enter and then use the Jump to stimulus link to be taken to the questions.  You will enter 2 amounts.  It is important that you enter the amount you received for the first payment in the 1st box and the amount you received for the 2nd payment in the 2nd box.  Because the amounts paid out were different, if you transpose these 2 numbers, you may generate a recovery rebate that you are not qualified for or forego claiming one that you do qualify for.    Anytime you need to get back to that section, searching stimulus is the way to do it.
