There is no place on your 2021 tax return to enter anything about the first or second stimulus. You are only asked about the third on for the 2021 return and the recovery rebate credit for 2021.

Did you file a 2020 tax return? If not, you either need to file a 2020 return or amend the 2020 return to use the recovery rebate credit for 2020 to get the 1st and/or second stimulus payment. If you filed a 2020 return---look at line 30 of your Form 1040. Is there an amount there or is it blank? If there is an amount there you did get it.

The first EIP --or stimulus check--- was issued in 2020 It was for $1200 for adults and $500 for a dependent under the age of 17. The IRS used information from either your 2019 or 2020 tax return to issue those checks so they could send them out in a hurry.

The 2nd EIP or stimulus was issued in late 2020 or early 2021 and was $600 for adults and $600 for dependents under age 17.

If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus check you can get it by filing a 2020 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review. It will end up on line 30 of a 2020 tax return and will be added to your refund (or reduce your tax due).

The 3rd EIP--or stimulus check-- was sent out in mid-March or later in 2021 and was for $1400 per person--adults and dependents no age limit.

If you did not get the 3rd EIP payment you can get it by filing a 2021 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review. The credit will go on line 30 of your Form 1040 and will add to your refund (or reduce your tax due).
