I would like to account for the third stimulus check in my return because I did not receive all of it. Will the software be updated to consider the third payment?

My turbotax doesn't have an option to enter information for the third stimulus check. I would like to account for the third stimulus check because I did not receive all of it. Will the software be updated to consider the third payment?

You do not do anything in TT to get the 3rd stimulus.   

You can use the IRS Get My Payment site to see what is expected for your 3rd stimulus check:

You cannot indicate receiving the third stimulus payment on the 2020 federal tax return.  The Recovery Rebate Credit can only be used for the first two stimulus payments.

Hello: I can’t figure out how to post a question. I haven’t filed my taxes yet. I had a baby last year and wqs credited for the 2 previous checks thay I didn’t received for him. What will happen with this third payment?

The IRS has not said yet how it will deal with missing stimulus payments. If you did not file your 2020 return yet, then the IRS will use 2019 information for your third stimulus payment. The baby would not be included in the payment because the IRS will not know you had a baby until you file your 2020 tax return.

You will get the payment for your baby eventually.

You should file quickly. The American Rescue Plan of 2021 includes a $3,600 payment for children under 6 years old that may be paid out as early as this summer.
