The Recovery Rebate Credit was new for last year and this year. It asks you if you received the Stimulus payments and how much. Then line 30 is only if you didn't get the full amount or qualify for more.
The first 2 Stimulus checks were for 2020. The first one was 1200 (2400 married) and 600 for each dependent under 17. The 2nd one was 600 per person and dependent under 17. It came out in Dec 2020 - Feb 2021 but went on your 2020 tax return.
The latest 3 stimulus came out starting in March 2021 and is 1400 per person no age limit. Did you get that one? The IRS also sent out letter 6475 telling you how much they sent you. They send letter 6475 to each spouse for half. But you need to enter the total .
