Tax Year Prior to 2020: Am I eligible for stimulus package check from IRS?

[blakej26]

If I was claimed as a dependent on my parents 2019 tax return but as of February 2020 was not a dependent and still did not receive any stimulus packages to help support myself financially, can I still receive a stimulus package? I have heard so many different answers and want to get the correct answer. If yes, how would I go about filing for a stimulus package?

@blakej26   You can claim it by filing a tax return.  

The Stimulus checks are really based on your 2020 tax return. Any amount you already got will be reconciled on your 2020 return line 30. If you didn't get a Stimulus Check (and qualify) or you qualify for more it will be added to your 2020 return. But the good news is if they paid you too much they won't take it back.

When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any. Or to enter your stimulus payment in TurboTax, type "stimulus" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to stimulus." If you didn't get one or both enter a 0 and not leave it blank or it won't calculate it.

After you have entered your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, it will be the first question.

If you are trying to trigger it, you can go to Other Situations, answer any questions and click Done. The next automatic selection is Federal Review and it will ask about payments received.

I having received my stimulus money how can I get it it keep say the don't have anough information 

[MaryM428]

At the top of your tax return select Federal Review

That will take you to this screen where it asks if you have already received your stimulus payments.  If you received the first or second payment already, then select Yes and fill in the information.  If you did not receive any payment select No.  If you received the first payment only, fill in that amount and put zero (0) for the second payment.

When the screen is correct, you refund will be adjusted for the amount of stimulus payment that will be added to your 2020 refund.

The stimulus payments are an advance on 2020 tax returns and will be added to the return if they have not already been received.

I was told I was but I never receive not one of them. But I did receive my income tax so how long after will the stimulus check come

[KrisD15]

Which stimulus check are you asking about? 

If you filed your 2020 tax year return, the amount you were short would have been listed on your 1040 line 30 and included in your refund (or subtracted from tax you owed). 

However your refund was sent is how the third stimulus will be sent

how and  when ?

[JotikaT2]

Depending upon your question, your stimulus payment will be sent by the IRS and they are the only agency who can provide more guidance as to how and when your payment would be issued.

[Phudson1907]

Will I receive the third stimulus check

[Phudson1907]

I want to know if I'm going to get the third stimulus check

[stephm930]

Can someone please assist me? It's almost May and I still haven't received my $1400. I received the last two payments so quickly. I got my tax return super quick but have no idea what happened to this third payment. Every time I check the IRS tool it says not available. I'm just so aggravated I don't know what to do and can't get any answers.
