No. The IRS says you are generally eligible if you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2021, you were not a dependent of another taxpayer, and you either have a valid SSN or claim a dependent who has a valid SSN or ATIN, you are eligible to claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit.
You may also be eligible if you file a joint return with your spouse, you or your spouse were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2021, and either you, your spouse, or both of you, have a valid SSN or you claim a dependent who has a valid SSN or ATIN.
Did you enter a dummy SSN? TurboTax does not let you proceed without an SSN. If you entered a dummy number, TurboTax may be assuming you are eligible.
You can remove the stimulus payment by telling TurboTax you got it (even if you did not).
