I'm doing my mom's taxes and I get an $1,800 refund. 

Is this part of the stimulus money that is being channeled thru the IRS?

    In TurboTax Online, you are prompted to input stimulus check 1 and stimulus check 2 information under Review down the left hand side of the screen.

     

    You can access your stimulus check choices by following these steps: 

    • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
    • Across the top of the screen, click on Other Tax Situations.
    • At the screen Let’s keep going to wrap up.  Click on Let’s keep going.
    • At the screen Let’s make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
    • At the screen Did you get a stimulus payment? you can update your stimulus check entries.

    If your mom has no income, the refund would be the Recovery Rebate credit if she did not receive the first 2 stimulus of $1,200 and $600.

    If she did receive those $1200 and $600 stimulus checks, where on turbotax do I indicate this?
