Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The stimulus payments should not have been included in your income.  The amount is only entered as part of the Federal review to determine if you are owed missing stimulus amounts.  

 

You can find the interview questions by clicking on the "Federal Review" tab at the top of your TurboTax screen.  You also use the search function (magnifying glass icon) at the top right of your page.  You can enter "Stimulus" and select the "Jump to..." link at the top of the results.  

 

There you will be asked if you received the third round payment (1400/each) in 2021.  You would answer, "Yes" or "No".  If "Yes", you would then be asked to enter the amount received.  If you did not receive all of the third round stimulus that you are eligible for the missing amount would be added to your return as a Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of your form 1040.  

 

The amount of stimulus payment you already received is not added to your return at all.  It is not income and it will not decrease your refund or increase your tax.
