Did she file 2020 yet? It needs to be claimed on the 2020 return. If she filed and it wasn't added to 1040 line 30 she will have to amend 2020 to get it. Was there any amount on line 30?
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 Federal - Other Tax Situations, answer any questions and click Done. The next automatic selection is Federal Review and it will ask about payments received.
The Recovery rebate credit is on 1040 line 30. It either adds to your refund or reduces a tax due.
If you do not get prompted to enter your stimulus information, that means you either:
Filed as a dependent being claimed on another tax return, or
Have an AGI too high to claim the recovery rebate

i claimed her as a dependent on the return . does that keep her from getting the first and second rounds
You claimed her on your 2020 return? If she was a dependent she doesn't get the first 2 stimulus checks. If she was under 17 on Dec 31, 2020 you should have got the 500+600 for her separately or included on your 2020 return. If she was your dependent 17 or older she doesn't qualify for the first 2 checks.
I don't know why she got the new 1400 check if she was your dependent. Something is going on.
I got 1200.00 and 600.00 of stimulus and I claimed my sister as my dependent and she did not get the stimulus money, did she miss out on the money because I claimed her on my taxes
Right, if you claimed her on your return she doesn't get the first 2 rounds. You might have gotten the dependent stimulus for her which was 500 and 600. How old is she? Did she have any income?
