Federal stimulus checks were issued for tax years 2020 and 2021----not for tax year 2022. There is no place on a 2022 tax return to enter anything about stimulus checks. If you did not receive the first or second stimulus check for 2020 ($1200 and $600) , you have to use the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review on a 2020 tax return to get it. If you did not receive the third stimulus check for $1400 in 2021, then you can use the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review on a 2021 tax return to get the third EIP payment. If you could be claimed as someone else's dependent for 2020 or 2021 then you were not eligible to receive the stimulus checks.
