I should have stated that I did not file a 2019 tax return. I got the first round of stimulus of $1200 based on my 2018 tax return through direct deposit. I haven’t received anything like a notice 1444 yet.
Will I still be able to receive the second round of $600? Or will I have to file a recovery rebate? Will the free version of TurboTax add on a recovery rebate credit of $600 if I don’t receive it?
You will just have to wait to see if you receive the $600 second stimulus on or before 01/15/2021.
Yes, the Free online edition can be used to report stimulus payments received or not received on the federal tax return Form 1040 Line 30.
However, it may be late January or early February before the software is updated to include the second stimulus payments. So you should not try to file your 2020 federal tax return until at least mid-February to ensure any stimulus owed you is entered on the 2020 tax return.
