Stimulus Payments

I have not received any stimulus payments for my daughter and while doing my taxes I do not see where to claim it? Am I missing something? I have tried calling for support and they could not figure it out either.

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return. If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”) If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.

Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st ad 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.

nothing comes up under federal review, that's what they were looking for when I called. I even tried doing a new return

You can find the Recovery Rebate Credit information under Review or the steps listed below.

If you have not received one or both of your stimulus checks, you will receive your payment in the form of a Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of your 2020 Federal tax return when you file.

TurboTax will compare your one or two stimulus payment amounts to the computations within TurboTax. The computations within TurboTax are based upon the information that you have entered into the tax software. If you are due an additional amount, it will be issued as a Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2020 1040 tax return.

In TurboTax Online, you are prompted to input stimulus check 1 and stimulus check 2 information under Review down the left hand side of the screen. Make sure that you report all the stimulus funds received for yourself, your spouse and your dependents.

You can access your stimulus check choices by following these steps:

Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
Across the top of the screen, click on Other Tax Situations.
At the screen Let’s keep going to wrap up. Click on Let’s keep going.
At the screen Let’s make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
At the screen Did you get a stimulus payment? you can update your stimulus check entries.
