Yes you have to report the stimulus payments you received on the 2020 federal tax return in the Federal Review section of the program. But only EIP1 and EIP2.

You have to enter the first and second ones you got. Or Turbo Tax will give it to you again on 1040 line 30. Then you will be shocked and upset when the IRS reduces your refund.

When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any. Enter a 0 in the box if you didn't get one. Or to enter your stimulus payment in TurboTax, type "stimulus" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to stimulus."

After you have entered your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, it will be the first question.

If you are trying to trigger it, you can go to Other Situations, answer any questions and click Done. The next automatic selection is Federal Review and it will ask about payments received.

The Recovery rebate credit is on 1040 line 30. It either adds to your refund or reduced a tax due.

Before filing, You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return
