TurboTax cannot track your 3rd stimulus or tell you when it will arrive.  The IRS is issuing 3rd stimulus checks on its own timetable.

You can use the IRS Get My Payment site to see what is expected for your 3rd stimulus check:

Or are you asking about the first or second Stimulus?  Did you get the first 1200 and the second 600?

It depends. If your circumstances changed from 2019 to 2020 and you are now eligible, and have not yet filed, file the 2020 tax return to receive the first and second stimulus. The third stimulus will be sent separately. To find out more, see what @xmasbaby0 stated. 

• To claim the Recovery Rebate Credit, in TurboTax, follow these steps:

1. Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
2. Answer Yes.
3. At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
4. Since no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount must be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.

If you have already filed and did complete this section, do not file an amended return. The IRS will correct it automatically.

If you have already filed and did not complete this section, file an amended return. 

To Amend(change) your 2020 TurboTax Online return, follow these steps:

• Open the return--you will be at Tax Home.
• Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and Show.
• Select 2020, and Amend(change) return.

Only after the amend process has been started, then, navigate to the Stimulus Payments section using the four steps numbered above.

• Amending the federal return can be done electronically once Form 1040-X becomes available soon. However, unless you live in Georgia, Michigan, New York, or Vermont, any state amended return must be paper filed.
