No, getting or not getting a stimulus check would have nothing to do with the tax preparation software you choose to use. Many folks did not receive the $600 stimulus check (yet) who should have definitely received it by now. As for the 3rd stimulus check (first round came out today), if you filed a 2020 return early enough and the IRS has already processed that return - and the information was significantly different than in 2019 (much greater or greater enough income) then you might not have qualified for the third stimulus payment. That would all depend on many factors. If you have not yet filed your 2020 (as you state above), then the IRS would still be going by 2019 information for the third stimulus payment. If you received the first stimulus payment, then you should have received the second and should be receiving the third. I would give it about a week at most and then check with the IRS to see if there has been a status update. The IRS website is running very slow with their own updates so please be patient and give it some time.
