After you file
@Jeanette mejia Did you read the replies in this very thread---especially the one that is directly above your own question? Please return to the thread and read. The only stimulus check that might still be available to you is the one for 2021----if you did not receive it and if you were eligible in tax year 2021. The way to get that stimulus money is to file a 2021 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit in the Federal Review section of the software. It is too late to get the stimulus money from 2020, and there were no federal stimulus checks for 2022 or 2023.
To prepare a 2021 tax return using TurboTax:
Online preparation and e-filing for 2020, 2021, and 2022 is permanently closed.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2020, 2021, or 2022 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.
Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
