Yes.

If you did not receive the stimulus for a dependent claimed on your 2021 tax return, you can claim it on your 2021 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit.

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following:

1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off
2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
3. On the next page titled Did you [or your spouse] get a third stimulus payment?, answer Yes or No
4. Follow the interview and answer all questions
5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus
6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

Please read this TurboTax Help topic for more information on the third stimulus.

To check that the Recovery Rebate has been transferred to line 30 of form 1040 and included in your tax refund, please preview your form 1040 by following these steps:

1. In TurboTax, open your return
2. In the left-hand column, locate Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow then click on Tools
3. On the Tools Center page, click on View Tax Summary
4. In the left-hand column, click on Preview my 1040
5. Your form 1040 will display.
6. Scroll down to line 30 - Recovery rebate credit and you should see the amount of this credit on this line.

Let me rephrase question. 2020 I didn’t claim my daughter she file tax individually and in 2021 she received stimulus check. Also, in last year me and my wife and one depended kid received regular $4200 that we got on our 6475 letters. Now 2021 I need add her back on my return as depended and should I claim $1400 stimulus for her because even though she received, but it was not on our 6475 forms. The form only includes $4200 as we have one depended on and now showing in Turbo tax question did, I received $5600 stimulus last year because I have 2 depended to clam.

Yes. You can claim the $1,400 stimulus for your daughter even though she received a check if you claim her as your dependent.

She received a check based on your 2020 filing status, but the Recovery Rebate Credit on the 2021 tax return uses 2021 info.

Here's what the IRS says:

Q E15. Dependents: Can my 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit include an amount for a qualifying dependent if the dependent received the third Economic Impact Payment or someone else received the third Economic Impact Payment for the dependent? (added January 13, 2022)

A15. Yes, if you meet the eligibility requirements to claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit. The amount of your credit may include up to $1,400 for a qualifying dependent you are claiming on your 2021 return.
