I am not sure what happened. TurboTax does not decide the total amount you are entitled to or receive. It came directly from the IRS, not TurboTax. If you believe you qualify and have received the total less than the full amount, you may claim a Recovery Rebate credit on your 2020 tax return. I am attaching the following link for your reference:
What is Recovery Rebate Credit
My friend got a email from turbotax this morning saying that he’ll receive his stimulus, but i surely didn’t get one. Unreal!
If you paid for your tax preparation when you did your taxes, the stimulus will deposit or mail the same as your refund -straight from the IRS. You are not involved with the email and should have received your payment.
If you had your tax preparation fees taken out of your refund, then you opted to have SBTPG as an intermediary. The bank, SBTPG, charged you an additional fee to take out TurboTax fees, receive your refund, and deposit it into your account or give you a debit card. Things should now be resolved.
We are happy to share that stimulus payments began to be deposited starting January 8th and will continue through January 15. Your payment will be deposited into the same bank account that you received your 2019 tax refund.
Please see: Is My Second Stimulus Check on the way? and the IRS stimulus website.
If for some reason you do not receive your stimulus, you can have it added to your refund. The IRS does not begin accepting returns until January 25 so all stimulus should have been received by then.
Please wait until you are certain there is no second payment, then you can follow these steps, if necessary.
After you have entered your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, stimulus will be the first question.
If you are trying to trigger it:
The program will determine the missing amount and add it to your refund.
Why hasnt my stimulus shown up in my account yet I received a email telling me it was on the way I'm getting a little worried about it
On Friday we had the following announcement:
We are happy to share that stimulus payments will begin to be deposited on January 8th for millions of our customers affected by the IRS error. We expect most of these payments to be available that day, but banks could take a few business days to process. Payment will be deposited into the same bank account that customers received their 2019 tax refund.
Customers receiving a stimulus payment will receive an email from TurboTax letting them know their stimulus payment is on the way.We have been working tirelessly with the Treasury and IRS to get stimulus payments to our customers. We know how important these funds are for so many Americans and we regret that an IRS error caused a delay.
Please note the following page for additional information: Why Haven’t I Received My Second Stimulus Check?
Given that it may take a couple of business days to reflect in the account, you may not yet see it reflected in yours. The same is true with the IRS website: it may take a day or two to reflect this change. But it is being processed and should be there soon.
We do appreciate that many of our customers depend on having these funds available, and we are working diligently to make this happen.
Correction now my wife has received hers we were separate but same bank account but I have yet to receive mine, no surprise.

The bank account I used last year is closed... The IRS website STILL says my status is not available. I live paycheck to paycheck with a dependent... I need to know if I'm getting this money soon or do I have to wait to claim it with my taxes? It's very frustrating when you have no clue what's going on and everytime you check the mailbox it's empty... Please someone give me an answer.

Don’t bother final day and no stimulus lost about 6 other customers I do taxes for don’t contact me our business is permanently concluded thanks for being nothing but a headache for ten years!
I would rather your company do their job and send me and everyone their money now like the rest of America, terrible company practice and execution. No more turbo tax for me
And that’s a load of corporate BS. Sure pass the buck when nobody else has had issues, unreal.
Exactly! I filled my 2019 taxes & received my first stimulus no problem all same info nothing as changed.... due to the pandemic i didnt have a job..so theres no way i can claim it , i cant file my taxes, so it doesn’t look like were going to receive our second stimulus payment which is extremely unfair makes no sense!
