Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your amended return may not have been processed yet which could potentially be why you never received the stimulus payment for your son. 

 

However, when you prepare your tax return this year, you will be prompted to enter your information regarding your stimulus payment. 

 

If you were eligible to receive the stimulus payments and did not receive them or only received a partial amount, you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return this year.  This will allow you to claim a credit on your 2020 income tax return for any stimulus payments you should have received but never actually received.

 

You will need to log back into TurboTax.

 

  1. In the Federal section, select Other Tax Situations interview section at the top of the screen.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom and select Let's keep going.  This will take you to the input section for the Recovery Rebate credit.
  3. Be sure to indicate the actual amount of each stimulus payment you received on the page that asks if you received a stimulus payment.  There will be two boxes and both need to be completed.
