Retirement tax questions
You do not claim stimulus payments on your taxes, only payments EIP1 and EIP 2 that you missed.
If you want to file a 2020 return to show a lower income, you can do that, but you don't report the stimulus payments.
If you have NO income for 2020, you can report 1 dollar as other income in order to file.
Sign into your account and your return
Type other reportable income into the Search Box and click the “Jump to other reportable income” link
-OR-
Click Federal on the left side-bar
Click Wages & Income along the top
Scroll down to the last section Less Common Income and click Show more to open drop-down
Scroll down to last section Miscellaneous Income and click Start
Scroll down to the last section Other reportable income and click Start
Enter the description as “to file for stimulus” and the amount as 1.00
