Deductions & credits
You can only claim the $1,400 stimulus payment (3rd check) with the 2021 Return. To claim the 2nd stimulus check, you will have to file an Amended 2020 Tax Return since you cannot claim the 2nd stimulus check with the 2021 Tax Return.
To input information about the 3rd stimulus check please follow the steps below:
- Sign into your account and continue from where you left off.
- Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen.
- On the next page titled Let's double-check the amount you received; you will be able to enter the amounts. TurboTax will state the amount you should have received based on the information you have entered. If that amount ties to what you have received you will click on the Yes option. If that is not what you have received, you will click on No and enter the amounts you have received as stated on Letter 6475.
Please be very careful that you enter the the exact amounts you have received or else there may be significant delays before you received your refund.
