Second stimulus payment information

 

If you did not receive either payments and were entitled to them, you will need to file a tax return for 2020 in order to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit.  You will be prompted to enter the amount of any stimulus payments you received in the federal review section of the program.  Be sure to indicate you did not receive either the first or second stimulus payments to ensure the applicable credit amount is calculated on your tax return.

 

Please see the attached link for more information on who can claim the credit and all other requirements.
