Stimulus for my daughter that was in a foster home in 2020

Suzie11 · ‎February 10, 2022

My daughter was in a foster home during 2020. She came home in February of 2021. I don't know what amount to put for the recovery rebate question because I can't reach the foster family to ask if they received the stimulus check for my daughter....I'm just confused and stressed out! Help!

You are not being asked about tax year 2020 on your 2021 return. You are only being asked about tax year 2021---and if she lived with you for over half of 2021 then you can get the 3rd EIP for her. (even if the foster family got it)......So you say you did not receive it.
