If I never received stimulus and am qualified for a Recovery Rebate Credit, is that reflected in my TurboTax refund?

Yes, any stimulus amount due to you will show on Line 30 of your Form 1040.

 

If you did not receive your first and/or second stimulus payment or if the amount received is not correct, you can claim it on your 2020 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit. 

  

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following: 

  1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off 

  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen 

  3. On the next page titled Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click on Continue 

  4. Follow the interview 

  5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus 

  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

We never received the 2nd stimulus and per the qualifications we should have and on the IRS site it even says we should have.  I was under the impression that TT would walk me through this but I have gotten all the way to the end of the return and it has not come up.  I purchase TT Premier addition and can not find where I am to put this information.  Please advise.

Here’s how you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit:

Enter all of your federal return information as you would normally. During the Federal Review, we’ll check if you meet eligibility requirements for the stimulus payment. If you meet the requirements, you'll see a Did you get a first or second stimulus? screen. We'll ask a few questions about any payments you've already received and then let you know if the Recovery Rebate Credit applies.
