If you did not receive your second stimulus payment, then you may be eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return.
Please be aware, if you received Notice 1444 in the mail but have not received your payment as mentioned in the notice, then you need to request a trace and claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return. Please see How do I request a payment trace to track my first or second Economic Impact Payments?
To be eligible for the credit you need to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020 and have a Social Security number that is valid for employment.
You cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else to be eligible.
Your credit amount will be reduced if your 2020 adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than:
Your payment will be reduced by 5% of the amount by which your AGI exceeds the applicable threshold above. (IRS FAQ Recovery Rebate Credit )
To claim the credit in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

already sent in my 2020taxes so how do i claim my 600.00? jean
Wasn't the missing 600 listed on your 1040 line 30? It should have been. It either adds to your refund or reduces a tax due. Or did you put down you were a dependent in 2020? Did you get the first 1,200?
yes i receive the 1200.00 but not the 600.00, 3600.00 was but i don't known if part of that was for the second stimulus check. we filed jointly . jean
Oh you are filing Joint? Did you husband get his 1200 and 600? Is the 3600 on line 30?
3600 is the right amount for a Joint return with no dependents 2400 (1200+1200) and 1,200 (600+600).
So if you already got 1200 then you should only have 2400 on line 30.
he receive is 1200 but not is 600 . plus his dependent ,one first but not second , he is 17
If his dependent turned 17 in 2020 he does not get the second 600 for him. Actually he shouldn't have got the first 500 for him either. But he doesn't need to pay it back.
So how much is on 1040 line 30? And how much total did you and him already get (including the first 500 for dependent)?
yes , 3600 the dependent was 16 for the first check, 2400, for the first and 0 for the second. 600 for the dependent. so total 3,000
Sorry I still can't follow your amounts. Are you saying you already got $3,000 total for the first & Second checks? Then you should only have 600 on line 30. If you have 3600 on line 30 that is too much and the IRS will reduce your refund.
If you have not filed yet go back and enter the amounts you already got in the 2 boxes.
When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any. Or to enter your stimulus payment in TurboTax, type "stimulus" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to stimulus." Say no to the amounts it shows you. Then 2 boxes will open up for each round. If you didn't get one enter a 0 in the box.
After you have entered your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, it will be the first question.
If you are trying to trigger it, you can go to Other Situations, answer any questions and click Done. The next automatic selection is Federal Review and it will ask about payments received.
