Yes, that's true. You can claim the recovery rebate credit on your tax return for the stimulus payment that you didn't receive. At the beginning of the Federal Review, TurboTax will ask how much you received for each stimulus payment. If you didn't get the full amount that you are entitled to, based on your 2020 tax return, TurboTax will give you the recovery rebate credit on your tax return for the missing amount.
@luis-aponte83 that is correct. The payments were an advance against a credit. So if did not receive the full amount ( first and the second), during your return preparation you will be asked about it , fill out a specific form ( all done by TurboTax) and the un-received portion of the credit would be applied agaisnt your tax liability -- thus your refund will go up.
Is there more I can do for you ?
