Last year I received the first Covid stimulus check via my fed tax return - and this year I will be receiving the third - but what about the SECOND?

The second - as in second stimulus check - how will that find me?

The second Stimulus payment was for 2020 znd should have been reconciled or claimed on your 2020 return.  Only the 3rd Stimulus payment goes on 2021.  You might need to amend 2020 to claim it.

The first 2 Stimulus checks were for 2020.  The first one was 1200 (2400 married) and 600 for each dependent under 17.  The 2nd one was 600 per person and dependent under 17.  It came out in Dec 2020 - Feb 2021 but went on your 2020 tax return.

 The latest 3rd stimulus came out starting in March 2021 and is 1400 per person no age limit.  Did you get that one?  The IRS also sent out letter 6475 telling you how much they sent you.   They send letter 6475 to each spouse for half.  But you need to enter the total .
