Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Your eligibility for the Recovery Rebate Credit is based on your 2020 federal tax return, dependency status and filing status. The credit is entered on your 2020 Federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 30.
The Recovery Rebate Credit is figured like the 2020 Economic Impact Payment, except that the credit eligibility and the credit amount are based on the tax year 2020 information shown on the 2020 tax returns filed in 2021.
Generally, you are eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit, if you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020, are not a dependent of another taxpayer for tax year 2020, and have a social security number valid for employment that is issued before the due date of your 2020 tax return (including extensions).
Using TurboTax you will be asked about any stimulus payment received during 2020 in the Federal Review section of the program.
