How do i go about trying to get my stimulus check.

@Traviswhite8988 Your question does not make clear what stimulus check(s) you are asking about.   If you did not receive the 1st or 2nd checks you can use the recovery rebate credit on your 2020 tax return.

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return.  If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”)  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.

Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st and 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.

TurboTax cannot track your 3rd stimulus or tell you when it will arrive.  The IRS is issuing 3rd stimulus checks on its own timetable.

To receive any missed stimulus payments from rounds one/two (1200/600) you need to file a 2020 tax return.  Any round one and/or two stimulus payments that you are eligible for but have not received yet will be added to your tax return as a Recovery Rebate Credit.  

Here is a link with more information on the Recovery Rebate Credit.  You can start your tax return for free here.

Once your 2020 tax return is processed and that indicates you are eligible for the third round payment (1400), that payment will be sent separately but in the same way you indicated you wanted to receive your tax refund (check, debit card, direct deposit).  

Here is more information on the third round of payments.

Hey I need to get all 3 of my stimulus check! I didn’t get any of them

[JotikaT2]

You will need to file a 2020 income tax return as outlined by DMarkM1 above.  This will allow you to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit if you were entitled to the stimulus payments.  The credit is based upon your actual 2020 income tax return.

Please see the attached link for more information on who can claim the credit.

Recovery Rebate Credit eligibility

As far as the third stimulus payments, the IRS will use the information from the latest filed tax return.  

Please see the links below for additional guidance from the IRS.

I wish to begin the process of getting my stimulus government payments.

[Mindboggling20]

I only have social security as my income would this qualify for this next stimulus check I didn't pay any state or federal ?

[xmasbaby0]

@Mindboggling20 If you receive Social Security you should have received all three stimulus checks automatically---which one(s) did you not receive?   The first one was in 2020 for $1200; the second one  was in late 2020/early 2021 for $600, and the third one was in 2021 for $1400.

If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd EIP payments then file a 2020 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit to get the payments.

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return.  If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”)  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
