I created an account on IRS but no option was available to request payment so how do I receive stimulus checks?

The only way to receive the first and second stimulus payment at this point is to file the 2020 tax return.

 

Then, include the Recovery Rebate Credit as part of your return.

 

To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
  2. Answer Yes.
  3. At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
  4. If no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount must be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.

To receive the third stimulus payment, if it is not automatically issued, file the 2021 tax return next year in 2022. If you are eligible, it will be sent next year by filing the 2021 tax return.
