You can claim it on your 2020 return.

 

On your 2020 return (filed in 2021), you will be asked about the stimulus money.  Enter any amount you have already received (if any) .  Then the program will calculate if you are owed more money (which would include any amount you qualify for the second stimulus money), or it will show you don't qualify.

 

After the Other Tax Situations section of the 2020 TurboTax program you will be asked about the stimulus payment received or not received in 2020.

 

After you asked about the stimulus payment & you qualify,  you will get the Recovery Rebate Credit (stimulus) on the 2020 federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 30.

@Tjholst   I have news for you, I am not a bum.  You are posting on someone else's post & it was answered to where do you claim the stimulus payment.  

 

TurboTax is a self preparers tax software, this is a user to user Community, allot of have volunteered for years on this board .  So before you add on to someone else's post with slams, I suggest you find out the facts & what is a correct answer.
