Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If he was not able to be claimed as someone else's dependent, then he will most likely qualify for stimulus payments. He'll need to file a tax return for 2020 to receive the stimulus payments.

 

When you prepare a tax return for 2020 in TurboTax, you will be prompted to enter how much was received for your stimulus and then the program will calculate the amount of stimulus due you. If any  stimulus is due you, it will be used to reduce your 2020 income tax liability, if any,  and the balance will be refunded to you.

 

You will see the options when you are done entering your tax information and proceed to the review process.

 

The third stimulus check will be sent separate from your refund once you file your 2020 tax return.

 

You can file a tax return in 2020 to get your stimulus check, even if you aren't required to otherwise.
