The first two stimulus checks belong on the 2020 income tax return.
The first and second rounds of Economic Impact Payments were advance payments of the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit claimed on a 2020 tax return. They were issued in 2020 and early 2021.
If you didn't claim the credit on your original tax return you will need to file a Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to claim it. The IRS will not calculate the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit for you if you did not enter any amount on your original tax return, or you entered $0.
You can amend your 2020 TurboTax return to claim the credit. For help, go to How do I amend my 2020 return?
If you never filed a 2020 return, you can file an original return. Go to File your 2020 taxes.
