Are you referring to your 2020 Income Tax return?  

 

If so, you will be able to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your income tax return if you received less than you were entitled to when the stimulus payments were issued.

 

Recovery Rebate Credit eligibility

 

When you prepare your 2020 income tax return, be sure to do the following to ensure the credit is calculated correctly on your income tax return.

 

In the Federal section, select the Federal Review interview section at the top of the screen.

 

This will take you to the input section for the Recovery Rebate credit.

 

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.  

 

Stimulus payments

 

FYI:  The 3rd stimulus check was just passed into legislation and will start being issued so those payments do not affect your 2020 income tax returns.
