Where will I see the option to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on this 2020 tax return? I entered most of my info but it never asked me what I received in 2019.

We received less than $1,200 each for the first stimulus, but our income was down this year and well under the limits, so we should have received $2,400 as a married couple.

If you do not receive any other stimulus payments by January 15, 2021, then the stimulus payment for which you are eligible to receive will be entered on your 2020 federal tax return as a tax credit on Form 1040 Line 30.

The TurboTax program will ask about stimulus payments in the Federal Review section of the program.

Thanks so much for your quick reply.  I'll check that area after I enter some more info on my return later this month.  Much appreciated.
