Is it true that I still qualify for the stimulus credit although I am a resident in the UK when they were released?

I moved to the UK in Feb of 2020 and never received stimulus payments. Feel like I shouldn't be getting the stimulus credit. I'll, of course, take it 🙂 but I want to be sure that is correct.

If you are a US citizen living abroad then you can qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit if you did not receive the full stimulus payments:

 

  1. Log into TurboTax.
  2. After entering all your information click "Federal Review" at the top of your screen. 
  3. On the screen "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount" click "Continue".
  4. You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received.  If you did not receive a payment enter "0".
  5. TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to get. 
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.

 

For additional information please see Stimulus FAQ at the end of the TurboTax article.
