The qualifications for the first two stimulus payments are:
- you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020,
- you were not a dependent of another taxpayer, and
- you have a Social Security number that is valid for employment.
There are income limitations are if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than:
- $150,000 if married and filing a joint return or filing as a qualifying widow or widower
- $112,500 if filing as head of household or
- $75,000 if filing as a single or as married filing separately.
The stimulus payments were based upon 2018 or 2019 tax year information. If you did not receive either of the first two stimulus payments, you may receive that amount through a Recovery Rebate Credit. The credit was based upon 2020 tax information and can be found on line 30 of the 2020 Federal 1040 tax return.
You will need to go through the entire step by step process that you did when you did the original return. If you qualified for the stimulus then the question regarding the stimulus popped up and you must have answered it incorrectly. If you didn't qualify then the question never appears.
