stimulus checks, and rebate credits

i never filed for 2/3 of the stimulus checks, although i needed them horribly. is there any ways to still claim them? if so how? otherwise, i had been told that you could get "recovery credits" in its stead? how do i go about doing either of those? or is it truly too late?

stimulus checks, and rebate credits

Yes. To claim any missed stimulus payments for 2020 and 2021 you must file 2020 and 2021 tax returns and claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on those returns.  The deadline to file a 2020 return to claim the credit is 17 May 2024 and for the 2021 return it is 15 Apr 2025.  Here is an IRS link with more details.  

 

Here is a link to get started on those prior year returns with TurboTax.  Use the 2020 and 2021 links on the page as applicable.
