How do I answer TT's "DId you get a first or second stimulus" if the check arrived after year end?

When I answer no, it says I get a credit of 1800.  But is that right?

If you received the first and second stimulus payment, then you will answer "Yes" that you received them when TurboTax asks, even if you got them in 2021. This question will determine if you qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit. Entering incorrect information and claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit falsely can delay your refund.
