After you complete the Wages & Income section, the Deductions & Credits section and the Other Tax Situations section, the stimulus question will be asked in Federal Review.

To get to the stimulus questions in TurboTax at any time, you can search for stimulus or recovery rebate credit then hit ENTER and there should be a Jump to link

If you are trying to trigger it,

Click on Other Tax Situations at top

Click on Let's get started

Answer some questions then Continue

Then click on Let's keep going

Next screen is for the Third Stimulus, if you qualify

I need to go back and edit my return to show that I did receive the March 2021 stimulus payment. I lost the paper work and did not expect it to be deposited in my investment account.

@Kyle_Farris   Did you file yet?  If you already filed you don't have to amend for that.  The IRS will catch it and automatically adjust your return for it and reduce your refund or send you a bill.

If you haven't filed,

After I select "Other Tax Situations", I don't see a "let's get started" button.

Did you try the search method?

There are only two reasons the question for the stimulus payment will not be presented -

1.  You are being claimed as a dependent (or)

2.  Your 2021 Adjusted Gross Income is over the maximum for the Recovery Rebate Credit

• Single or married filing separately—$80,000
• Married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er)—$160,000
• Head of household—$120,000

The question was presented the first time, answered "no" by accident.  Trying to go back and change my answer.

You can use Search to get back to the stimulus screen as super Tax Champ @VolvoGirl said.

• Type stimulus in Search in the upper right
• Click jump to stimulus
• Say Yes or No to It looks like you qualified for the stimulus, did you get any payments?
• If you said Yes TurboTax will show you the check amounts you were supposed to get.
• If that's correct say Yes. If not say No.
• If you say No, enter the actual payment amounts you received.

If you saw the stimulus screen but added information that made you ineligible, it's possible the screen won't come up again. Look at awesome Tax Champ @DoninGA's post.

I tried typing "stimulus" in the Search in upper right.  I do not see a link to "jump to stimulus".  Lot of other links, but no "jump to stimulus" link.

If you did not get prompted to enter your stimulus information, that means you either:

1. Filed as a dependent being claimed on another tax return, or 
2. have an AGI too high to claim the recovery rebate

You do not see this -

If you are not eligible for the credit because your Adjusted Gross Income is too high, the program won't ask. 

The stimulus payment in this case is irrelevant. Even if you did get one, it needn't be paid back. 

If you are eligible for the credit, the program will ask if you already received the stimulus payment. If you got the payment, you won't also get the credit. 

If you answered incorrectly, or something changed, go to your list of forms and delete the "Recovery Rebate Credit" worksheet.

Select Tax tools, then Tools on the left side bar

Select "Delete a form" on the TOOLS screen

Scroll down and delete "Recovery Rebate Credit" worksheet
