I never recieved my 1st and 2nd stimulus checks

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.

If you did not get your second stimulus check (or your first one), you will need to file a 2020 tax return in order to claim the money. Specifically, you'll file a return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit, which is the name given to the first two payments. Both of the payments were actually a tax credit.

 

For general stimulus information, you can visit our Stimulus Tax Center here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/coronavirus/

For additional information about stimulus payments, including eligibility, payment timing and distribution details, the IRS urges people to visit IRS.gov for the most up to date information.
