A stimulus payment received in 2020 or in January of 2021 is only reported on a 2020 tax return.
The 3rd stimulus payment of $1,400 was sent in the March - May timeframe in 2021. You will be asked for this 3rd stimulus payment only when completing the 2021 federal tax return.
So how should I answer the turbo tax question, " did you get a third stimulus payment" Yes or No?

If you did Not receive the $1,400 stimulus payment you should answer No. But be aware if the IRS has records indicating that the 3rd stimulus payment was sent to you then the IRS will adjust your tax return and remove the Recovery Rebate Credit from your return. This process will delay any tax refund by several weeks if not longer.
It's not asking if you got 3 payments. It is only asking if you got the 3rd Stimulus payment. The 3rd Stimulus Payment EIP3 is for 1,400 per person and came out starting in March 2021. Do not count the first 2 payments. The first 2 EIP1 & EIP2 were for 2020 even if you got the second one in Jan/Feb 2021.
Double check your bank accounts and check both your IRS accounts if married to see how much the IRS sent you.
