Why is it not asking me about the stimulus money i didn't recieve the second or third and i was told to fill it on my return but this is not letting me

TO GET TO THE STIMULUS SECTION OF TURBOTAX:

Go into your account and click "Tax Home"

On that screen click "Other Tax Situations"

When the drop-down opens, click "Let's Get Started" or "Review/Edit" to move forward 

There may be a delay when opening to this next screen

Scroll to the bottom of this screen and click "Let's keep going" 

The next screen should read "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount" (If not, click continue to move forward until you do get to that screen)

Scroll down and click "Continue"

The next screens will ask if you received the stimulus, which ones and how much. 

The software will calculate a credit if applicable.

If you need to delete the stimulus information from your tax return, here's how:

How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?

  • Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  • In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
  • In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  • Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

If you are trying to get them to open, then you'd use the steps that KrisD15 provided above:

Here's some other information about the third Stimulus:

How will the third stimulus impact me?

 

The American Rescue Plan provides relief for millions of Americans through numerous measures, including a third round of stimulus checks, unemployment benefit extensions, and expansions of the Child Tax Credit and the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

This means if you qualify for a third stimulus check, you could get up to $1,400 for each taxpayer in your household plus $1,400 for each dependent.

  • Families earning less than $150,000 a year and individuals earning less than $75,000 a year should get the full $1,400 per person.
  • Families earning up to $160,000 per year and individuals earning up to $80,000 per year will receive prorated amounts.
  • One notable difference from the first two stimulus is that you will receive stimulus payments for all your dependents, including adult dependents and college students.

To find out if you are eligible and how much you can expect, visit our stimulus calculator.

Do I need to apply to get a stimulus check?

You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited. If you haven’t filed your 2020 return yet, you can do that now to give your most recent information to the IRS, including bank account or address information to help ensure your stimulus check goes to the right place.

When will I get my stimulus check?

The IRS has not announced a date yet, but we will provide an update here as soon as it becomes available.

Stimulus payment FAQs

Will the stimulus affect my taxes for this year? Or next year?

Do I need to file a 2020 tax return to get a stimulus check if I don’t normally file taxes?

How will I know if I was issued a stimulus check?

What if I already filed my 2020 taxes?

Can I change my information?

Where will my stimulus payment go if I used a Turbo Card to receive my refund?

What is TurboTax doing to ensure that payments go to the right accounts?

Will I get a stimulus check if someone claimed me as a dependent?

I notice that Turbo Tax is not asking about the third stimulus money, I have done other taxes and purchase a new license and now it's not asking about the stimulus money received in 2021. The steps given on prior questions does not take me to the questions. I use Turbo Tax for Home & Business. Can you give me the steps to get there?

TurboTax will not take you to the stimulus section if you are not qualified to receive a stimulus payment @mmallen21.

 

You can access the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet in TurboTax Home & Business CD/download.

 

  1. Type Forms in the top right
  2. In the left column (Forms in My Return) find Recov Rebate Cr
  3. Fill out the information in the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet. The amount added to your refund will be on line 14.
  4. If you don’t see Recov Rebate Cr, tap Open Form in the left column and type recovery in the search box.
  5. Select Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet and tap Open Form
  6. Tap Step-by-Step in the top right to return to the interview mode
