Follow these steps to enter the stimulus payments received or missed so that TurboTax will calculate your Recovery Rebate Credit:
- Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
- Answer Yes.
- At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
- If no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount must be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.
Dependent children under 17 years old will be classified by their parents' income, also.
Only if the children are not claimed on your return and provided more than 50% of their own support would they be eligible for stimulus payments based on their own earnings.
You mention June 17 to file. You must have a disaster-related extension from recent winter storms in Texas, Oklahoma or Louisiana. This deadline is June 15, 2021. The IRS extends to the next business day when the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday.
To check eligibility, please see:
The first stimulus payment was for up to $1,200 each.
The second stimulus payment was for up to $600 each.
The third stimulus payment was for up to $1,400 each. Any missing amounts will be reported on the 2021 tax return that will be filed in the spring of 2022.
