where do I report the stimulus payment?

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.

This year it is more important than ever  to FOLLOW the interview screens in the order they are presented ... skipping about will have you miss things that were changed.

EVERYONE  filing a tax return this year will have to visit the CTC section of the program even if they are not claiming any dependents on the 2021 return because the program cannot KNOW who got a CTC advance last year. 

This goes for the third stimulus payment as well  ... EVERYONE will need to answer those RRC questions.

And with the changes to the EIC more taxpayers will be eligible for it this year ... it is important to visit this credit as well. 

Failure to complete any of these sections will result in error messages when you get to the REVIEW tab and you cannot efile with those errors.   

So everyone needs to complete all sections of the TT interview and not skip the deductions & credits section this year even if they have in the past.

How too file my 1099 g taxes and how to add my economical impact payment and get the tax rebate credit

[ErnieS0]

To add unemployment into TurboTax:

• Type unemployment in Search in the upper right
• Click Jump to unemployment
• TurboTax will ask (1) whether you received unemployment, (2) whether it was government (1099-G) or private and (3) whether you repaid any benefits. Answer those questions.
• Click continue and enter your information.

To add your economic impact payment:

• Type "stimulus" in Search in the upper right
• Select "Jump to stimulus"
• TurboTax will ask whether the amount your eligible for matches what you got.
• If it doesn't, say NO
• TurboTax will let you enter what you got and add the extra to your refund

Searching 'Stimulus' and going to it does nothing.  It brings you to the "We're Ready to Review Your Federal Return"    Yes I've entered everything / No I have something to enter.

Neither selection brings me to this Stimulus question!

[Critter-3]

If you are a dependent and/or  your income is out of the range of the stimulus credit then that section will not be presented since it makes no difference to your return and it is not taxable nor does it have to be repaid.  So if you are not prompted for that info in the Review tab just keep going. 

[meagan]

But if one answered 'No' to getting a check, where on earth is this in TT?   No matter what instruct I do, I can't find it.    Maybe it's on form 1040 and I can manually enter it. 

But it almost seems like Entrapment at this point.  I distinctly remember a blurb that said if you select wrong - the IRS can lessen any refund, etc.    Great - and one can't go back to fix this?

[Critter-3]

If you got the full payment then nothing should be on line 30 of the form 1040 so you have nothing to correct ... look at that line first.  

If you file with the wrong information then the IRS will automatically correct the situation.  But if you went thru that section already then you if you are still eligible for the RRC you should be able to review that section again ... follow the prior instructions  or switch to the FORMS mode if you are using the downloaded version.

@meagan  If you didn't get the 3rd Stimulus payment and you are not a dependent then your 2019 or 2020 income must have been too high to qualify.   And for 2021 if you are not getting the stimulus question your income is too high.  You don't have to enter no or that you didn't get it.  There won't be anything you can get now.  

To get to the stimulus questions in TurboTax at any time, you can search for stimulus or recovery rebate credit then hit ENTER and there should be a Jump to link

If you are trying to trigger it,

Click on Other Tax Situations at top

Click on Let's get started

Answer some questions then Continue

Then click on Let's keep going

Next screen is for the Third Stimulus, if you qualify

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

No credit is allowed when AGI is at least the following amount:

• $160,000 if married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower
• $120,000 if filing as head of household or
• $80,000 for all others.

If your 2021 is too high to qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit it won't ask you for it.  If your AGI is too high you don't have to enter what you got or letter 6475 and you don't have to pay it back and it is not taxable.  See IRS Topic H 3rd question

The Recovery rebate credit on line 30 is only if you didn't get the full Stimulus payment or qualify for more.
