just to clarify:
@mellajohnson asked about the 2nd stimulus payment and @Critter-3 explained how to receive the 1st stimulus payment.....
BOTH stimulus payments are based on your 2020 income tax return. Nothing about 2018/2019 matters in the end.
TT is CURRENTLY programmed to compute the first stimulus payment and adjust the tax return if you are owed more.
we will all have to wait and see how the 2nd stimulus check is handled. The IRS will be using 2019 to send out the payments as an advance, just like they did last spring, but if you were not eligible based on 2019 data yet are eligible based on 2020 tax return, we will have to wait and see how that is handled.
