IRS website indicates to enter the amount received on line 30, however changing to form I do not see any entry there even though the software asked if I received any.

How is the amount entered and if the software has already taken care of this where is the entry(ies)?

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.

Since you are using the CD/download you can click on forms mode to look at your Form 1040
