Deductions & credits

TurboTax will not have that information. The stimulus deposit comes directly from the IRS. If you have not filed taxes in the last 7 years, they may not have your information for stimulus processing. When you last filed, were you claimed as a dependent? However, if you file a 2020 return, you may be able to claim the stimulus payment as a credit to be received with your 2020 return.

 

Per the IRS:

If you did not receive the full amount to which you believe you are entitled, you will be able to claim the additional amount when you file your 2020 tax return.  This is particularly important for individuals who may be entitled to the additional $500 per qualifying child dependent payments. For VA and SSI recipients who don’t have a filing requirement and have a child, they need to use the Non-Filer tool (link) on IRS.gov by May 5 in order to have the $500 added automatically to their $1,200 Economic Impact payment. We encourage people to review our “How do I calculate my EIP Payment” question and answer.
