I received a Stimulus check in 2021 but I'm not sure if I'm eligible to receive more money. How can I check if I'm eligible for additional money / benefit?

I received a letter from the IRS showing the amount I received and it mentions I might be eligible for additional money but it is not clear how can I check it.

When you are preparing your 2021 tax return, TurboTax will ask you how much you received. It will then tell you whether you are eligible for more, and if so, how much. If you are eligible for more, you will get the additional amount as a Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return.

The 3rd Stimulus payment was 1,400 per person.   It was sent out based on your 2020 return.   If you didn't get the full amount or qualify for more (like you added a new dependent) you will get the extra on 1040 line 30.    

If you are married you may each get a letter showing half of what you got.  You need to double check the amount with your bank statements.   If you didn't get the spouse letter you should check each account at the IRS.   Check each IRS account
