You can claim your first 2 stimulus checks as the Rebate Recovery Credit on your 2020 return. If you haven't filed your 2020 return yet, use the steps below.
If you have already filed your 2020 return, you can amend it using the steps in this TurboTax Help article:
How do I amend my 2020 return? If you e-filed your original 2020 return, you can also e-file the amended return.
This credit will allow you to get any stimulus money you're still owed—you'll just get it as a credit on your tax return instead of a separate payment.
To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:
- Enter the information in your return.
- Click Federal Review at the top of your screen.
- On the screen, Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
- You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received.
- TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to. This will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.
