The Recovery Rebate Credit applies to the 3rd Stimulus payment received in early 2021. There is no process on your 2021 return to claim any additional stimulus funds outside of the $1,400 per family member that would have been eligible in 2021.
Here’s how to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit:
- Enter all of your federal return information as you would normally
- During the Federal Review, we’ll check if you meet eligibility requirements for the stimulus payment
- If you meet the requirements, you'll see the Did you get a third stimulus? screen
- Answer a few questions about any payments you've already received and then we'll let you know if the Recovery Rebate Credit applies
- If you need to make any changes to your stimulus credit responses, search for stimulus and select the jump-to link to return to the section. Enter your updated info and Continue
It’s important that you enter the correct amount of the stimulus payment you received. Third stimulus payments were made beginning in March. You can find the exact amount:
- On your IRS letter-Notice 1444-C which was mailed to you with the headline, “Your Economic Impact Payment Has Arrived” and was signed by the president, or
- By visiting the IRS View Your Account Information page and creating or accessing your account, or
- In your bank statements. You might be able to search your online statements for deposits made by the IRS or US Treasury
