Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Given that you state that you have not worked, might it be safe to assume that you did not file a 2019 tax return? If you did not file for 2019 - even with no income to report, the IRS had nothing to go by in order to determine your potential eligibility for a stimulus check. You could have requested one, but the final date for that was in November 2020. At this point, your best bet is to file a 2020 tax return - even though you did not receive any income, in order to request payment for this credit not received. However, if you are listed as a dependent of another on their tax return - due to your being disabled - then you would not receive the benefit personally, the individual who claims you as their dependent would receive extra for caring for you. If you are not claimed on someone else's return, then when you walk through the questionnaire, near the very end of the Federal questionnaire, it will ask you about stimulus payments and if you received any. Answer zero (using the number 0) at the first stimulus "field" as well as the second stimulus "field" and the system will show you that you are due $1800. I hope this covers it for you. Good luck in your recovery!!
