If you never received your stimulus checks, you can still claim them by filing for the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return. Unfortunately, there isn't an extension specifically for stimulus checks, but you can claim the credit when you file your taxes.
Here’s what you need to do:
- File your tax return: Even if you don't usually file taxes, you need to file a return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit.
- Claim the Recovery Rebate Credit: This credit will account for any missed stimulus payments.
If you need to file prior year returns, you can use TurboTax's software for previous years:

- How to File Prior Year Returns
- Once you sign in and begin your return, TurboTax can help you claim the credit by asking you questions about your tax situation and the economic impact payments you may have received. That information is used to fill out the correct tax forms and claim any credit that you are eligible for on your tax return.
