Do I have to put down stimulus check?

I "made" $1,200 last year but I still want to put it down. If I'm going to put it down at all, where would I file it under?

the stimulus check is not income.

the only reason to tell TurboTax about it is so you don't get paid twice.

Since you already got it, 1040 Line 30 should be ZERO.

there were two stimulus payments.

If you did not get $1,800, Line 30 should read $600.

Note: some payments are still arriving in the mail even today.
