If you did not receive the third Economic Impact Payment, you must file a 2021 tax return to claim a 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit even if you are otherwise not required to file. This includes amounts for your spouse and qualifying dependents (if applicable) reported on your 2021 tax return for whom you did not receive a third payment.
Your 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit (Line 30 of your 1040) will reduce any tax you owe for 2021 or be included in your tax refund.
To get to the stimulus page of TurboTax Home & Business, please follow the instructions below:
Please note that the third stimulus check was for $1,400 per qualified individual. The second stimulus check was for $1,200. If you did not receive the second check, you will have to file a 2020 return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit.
The first EIP --or stimulus check--- was issued in 2020 It was for $1200 for adults and $500 for a dependent under the age of 17. The IRS used information from either your 2019 or 2020 tax return to issue those checks so they could send them out in a hurry.
The 2nd EIP or stimulus was issued in late 2020 or early 2021 and was $600 for adults and $600 for dependents under age 17.
If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus check you can get it by filing a 2020 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review. It will end up on line 30 of a 2020 tax return and will be added to your refund (or reduce your tax due).
The 3rd EIP--or stimulus check-- was sent out in mid-March or later in 2021 and was for $1400 per person--adults and dependents no age limit.
If you did not get the 3rd EIP payment you can get it by filing a 2021 tax return and using the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review. The credit will go on line 30 of your Form 1040 and will add to your refund (or reduce your tax due).
