Follow the steps below to enter your information for the Recovery Rebate Credit.

In TurboTax Online, to get to the Recovery Rebate Credit section

Type stimulus in Search in the upper right
Click jump to stimulus
Say YES or NO to It looks like you qualified for the stimulus, did you get any payments?
If you said YES TurboTax will show you the check amounts you were supposed to get.
If that's correct say YES. If not say NO.
If you say NO, enter the actual payment amounts you received.

Any stimulus amount due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your Form 1040.

The stimulus payments were advanced payments for 2020. Since the IRS did not have 2020 information when it sent out payments, the Service used 2018 and 2019 tax information with the understanding that any missing payments would be added to your 2020 tax return.
