Do I have to pay taxes on the $600 stimulus check I received in 2020?

I'm doing my 2020 taxes now, do I claim my $600 stimulus check as income?

It is not taxed but only reported on your return.

No, the stimulus payments are not taxable income.  You do need to enter the stimulus payments in TurboTax, as you might be eligible for additional payment if the form of the Recovery Rebate Credit if you received less than what you were eligible for with the first two stimulus payments.
