I have received the $1200 economic stimulus check; however, it was received in January of 2021.  I feel it should be recorded as having been received in my 2020 return, but want to have this verified please.


Both stimulus payments are an advance tax credit based on your 2020 federal tax return.  The payment received in 2021 is required to be reported as received on your 2020 federal tax return.
