The section reviewing the stimulus payments asks if we got our 2020 stimulus payment. Is that referring to just the most recent one? Or both payments combined?

My wife and I had a new baby during 2020, so we want to see if we can get the additional stimulus due to that addition to our family. However, the page discussing the stimulus payment seems to imply there has only been one stimulus payment. Is this just not updated yet?

The software will ask a separate question about each payment.  All versions of the program are not yet updated to ask about the second payment.  If you have the desktop software, please ensure that you run updates regularly.  If you use the online product, updates are applied automatically, usually in the overnight hours. 

 

You will be eligible for both stimulus payments for your new addition.  TurboTax will add this in for you automatically.
