Deductions & credits

Hi @RobertB4444 thanks for your reply! Under first year choice, 

1) can I file directly as a resident for 2021 without having to attach a statement to the 1040 stating this is a first year choice etc? I know the free turbo tax option allowed me to prepare my resident tax returns without an extra statement etc.  
2) can I claim the stimulus check that was issued in 2021 if I fall in the eligible income category?
