My $1,200 CARE check was lost in the mail. The IRS told me to claim the $1,200 as a tax credit on line 30 of my 2020 Federal 1040. I need help re: where to enter the credit on my TurboTax deluxe software.

To claim the Recovery Rebate Credit in your return, follow these steps:

1. Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
2. Answer Yes.
3. At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
4. Since no stimulus amount was received, enter 0 for the first payment. An amount must be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.
