After you file

There is no place to enter anything on a 2024 tax return about a stimulus check.  The 3rd stimulus check was for tax year 2021.   If no one could claim you as a dependent and you were eligible for the 3rd stimulus, you can file a 2021 tax return to seek the recovery rebate credit if you mail it by April 15, 2025.

 

But first check your  online account with the IRS to see what the IRS shows for you.

 

Look at your online account with the IRS to see if they sent you $1400 in 2021.

If you could be claimed as someone else's dependent in 2021, you are not eligible for the payment.
