2nd stimulus check

My 2nd stimulus check arrived in my checking account during 2021. How do I answer the question on my 2020 tax return regarding the 2nd stimulus check?

 

In other words I did receive it but not in 2020.

@seawolf1963 - unlike most things with taxes, this is NOT INCOME, so whether you received it in 2020 or 2021 doesn't matter.  just answer the amount you received!

You do not see the two sections for entering stimulus payments?  The first for the early 2020 payment and the second for the early January 2021 payment?
