No.

 

The only way to get the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus check is to file a 2020 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit to get the EIP payments.   You have to go through the Federal Review section to do that.  You cannot use the online program to file a 2020 return now.  

 

The way to get the 3rd EIP payment is to file a 2021 tax return and go to Federal Review for the recovery rebate credit.

 

If you have never worked or filed a tax return-----have you been claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return?   If someone else can claim you as a dependent you are not eligible to receive the recovery rebate credits.

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2018, 2019 or 2020 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

 

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

 

Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.
