Deductions & credits

The first stimulus was in April or May 2020.  The second stimulus check was December 2020 or January 2021.  The third stimulus check was sent in March or April 2021.

 

If you did not receive the first or second stimulus, you apply for the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return.  Even if you accidentally report the wrong information, the IRS will check before they send you the stimulus money.
