It depends upon which stimulus payment you are referring to.
Please refer to the link below for more information for the third stimulus payment.
Stimulus payment information
If you did not receive the first or second stimulus payments but were eligible, you will need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when preparing your 2020 income tax return. This credit is calculated based upon your input in the program.
The amount of the Rebate Recovery Credit is based upon your actual 2020 income tax return you file. Therefore, if you meet the criteria for the credit, you will receive it when you prepare your 2020 income tax return. The credit is intended to give those who should have received a stimulus payment but never did a tax credit on their tax returns. Any excess credit is then refunded to you if there is an overpayment on your tax return.
In the Federal review section of the program, when prompted to enter the amount of your stimulus payments, be sure to enter zero for both payment amounts to ensure this credit is calculated on your return.
Please see the attached link for more information on who can claim the credit.
