My wife and I received a stimulus check for $1402.45 on 4/15/20, We received a second stimulus check for $202.45 on 1/4/21. Turbo Tax indicates we should have gotten another check for $2800.00 but we have confirmed we didn't get a third check. TT added this $2800 amount to our tax refund but I am hesitant to file without being sure we are suppose to get this third check. Am I ok to file with this amount included?

Neither of the stimulus payments in 2020 or in early 2021 were for the 3rd stimulus payment.
The third stimulus payment was sent in the March to May 2021 timeframe and was $1,400 for each of you. If you did not receive this payment then the $2,800 Recovery Rebate Credit entered on your 2021 tax return is correct.
Sounds like your 2020 income was too high to get the 3rd stimulus check in advance but your 2021 income is low enough to get the credit on the return.
