Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There is no "new" $600 federal stimulus.    You may have misunderstood something.

 

There have been three stimulus checks --- also called EIP payments.   The first one was for $1200 and was sent out in 2020; the second one was for $600 and was sent in either late 2020 or early 2021; the 3rd one was in 2021 and was for $1400.

 

If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd EIP payment you can get it by filing a 2020 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit.

 

If you did not receive the 3rd EIP payment you can get it as a recovery rebate credit on your 2021 tax return.
