File a tax return with the new Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet. This will allow you to reconcile your stimulus payments and receive any additional payment (refund).IRS Recovery Rebate Credit 

  • In TurboTax Online once your return is open, select Wages & Income (to enter the tax return). 

  • Select Federal Review at the top of the page > Continue to answer the questions for Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount 

  • TurboTax will then include any stimulus amount due on your 1040 form. 

  Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

You should file and list your dependents even if you don't have to file.

Biden wants the IRS to send you $250 a month for having a child. The IRS  has to be able to find you.

You'll have to put in one dollar of income somewhere otherwise TurboTax won't send it.

You can use TurboTax Free File to file your federal and state tax return at no charge to you.  This will let the IRS have a record of you and your dependent for 2020.  You will not pay any federal income tax on the two stimulus checks that you received.
