Where do I check for the stimulus? I am an independent but last year was a dependent so i have not received any of the checks.

If you are not a dependent in tax year 2020, you are eligible for both stimulus payments and you can claim them as the Recovery Rebate credit when you file your 2020 tax return.

 

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following:

  1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
  3. On the next page titled Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click on Continue
  4. Follow the interview
  5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.
