The IRS has indicated they’re using the latest taxpayer information they have on file to issue the third stimulus payment. That means they are sending your stimulus payment to one of the following:

  • Bank account information from the direct deposit of your 2019 or 2020 tax refund,
  • Bank account information you entered on your non-filer registration in 2020,
  • Bank account information you entered on Get My Payment before December 22, 2020, or
  • Banking information used by a federal agency that provides you benefits such as the Social Security Administration, Veteran Affairs, or the Railroad Retirement Board.

If you didn’t update your information with the IRS, they will issue your payment using the latest information they have in your file, not the information you provided to the TurboTax portal.

I got the first stimulus cause I filed  in 2018. But have not filed since So I missed out on the 2nd stimulus for 600.00 dollars because I was not aware of the non filers tool on the irs site. They don't have that up this time and don't know what to do to let them know I am eligible for the stimulus payment as well. So I need 5o know what I need to do to let the government know

If you have any income. you should file you 2020 tax return and claim your second stimulus payment there. You can do it with TurboTax: Claim Recovery Rebate Tax Credit
