Deductions & credits

It doesn't matter who got the stimulus payment.   It belongs to whoever is claiming the dependent.   If you are claiming a dependent that YOU did not receive a stimulus payment for, you still get the credit - even if someone received the check.   Tell TurboTax the exact amount YOU received when asked; do not include amounts sent to Mama, unless Mama is on your return.   TurboTax is not going to give you the credit unless you qualify.
