If you qualify but didn't file your 2021 return, you need to file it to claim the third payment/ Recovery Rebate Credit by the April 15, 2025, deadline.

Stimulus payments from 2020 are no longer available.

If you were not claimed as a dependent on a 2021 tax return, you should have received the 2021 stimulus of $1,400.

Go to this IRS website for a tax account and check to see if the IRS sent you the stimulus payment - https://www.irs.gov/payments/online-account-for-individuals

If not, then you either have to file a 2021 amended return or if you never filed a 2021 return then you have to file a 2021 return or an amended return on or before April 15, 2025.

You complete the Recovery Rebate section of the 2021 return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a prior year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=ld1n99kr

To complete and file a 2021 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2021 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

A 2021 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.
