How can I file my 3 stiulmas payments on my return. I've never filed before

You have not lost your stimulus money. The first and second stimulus payments can be obtained by filing your 2020 tax return now.  

 

The Recovery Rebate Credit will cover both the first and second stimulus payments. This will determine the full amount of potential refund you are entitled to based on income and eligible dependents, and will be part of the final combined refund on your return, if applicable.

 

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following:

  1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
  3. On the next page titled Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click on Continue
  4. Follow the interview
  5. TurboTax will determine your stimulus amount
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

Get My Payment - Select the button Get My Payment to see if your information is current based on the payments you did receive.

Use the link below to file your 2020 return with TurboTax.

The third stimulus payment is reconciled on the 2021 return you file now.   So you will need to file 2 tax returns.
