In the Federal Review section of the 2020 TurboTax program you will be asked about stimulus payments.  If you are eligible based on your 2020 federal tax return the Recovery Rebate Credit will be entered on the federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 30 as a tax credit.  The credit will be included in the federal tax refund or will reduce the amount of federal taxes owed.

@Nathand2019 Please explain how you "applied for stimulus" in 2021.  The only way to get the stimulus money was as a recovery rebate credit on a 2021 tax return.  Did you file a 2021 return?   What was on line 30 of the Form 1040 you filed?
