Do you mean that you did not receive the 3rd EIP payment and did not go through the recovery rebate credit section in Federal Review?   Take a look at your Form 1040---is there an amount on line 30?   If so, that is your stimulus payment---automatically put there by the software.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

Did you get any of the 3rd Stimulus payment (1400 person) during the year?  If you didn't or qualify for more it will be on line 30 as the Recovery rebate credit.  Anything on your 1040 line 30?   Did Turbo Tax ask you if you received it?  If the IRS sent you some they would mail you a letter 6475 telling you how much.  Check your bank records to see if you got any.

 

If you did not get prompted to enter your stimulus information, that means you either:

  1. Filed as a dependent being claimed on another tax return, or 
  2. have an AGI too high to claim the recovery rebate

 

To get to the stimulus questions in TurboTax at any time, you can search for stimulus and use the Jump to link.  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.
