    So you are saying I have to apply for this recovery credit even tho I did my 2019 tax returns with you all and qualify for both stimulus? Iam not understanding how none of us are getting our stimulus. We shouldn’t have to apply for some credit.. I waited since April of 2020.. I did everything right on my end.. no I don’t have a turbo card I have my bank account on my taxes.

    Unfortunately, if you did not receive either of your stimulus payments, you will have to file your 2020 income tax return in order to receive the payments.  

     

    Eligible individuals who did not receive the full amounts of both Economic Impact Payments may claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2020 Form 1040 or 1040-SR. To determine whether you are an eligible individual or the amount of your Recovery Rebate Credit, complete the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet in the Instructions for Form 1040 and Form 1040-SR.

     

    Generally, you are eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit if you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020, cannot be claimed as a dependent of another taxpayer for tax year 2020, and have a Social Security number valid for employment that is issued before the due date of your 2020 tax return (including extensions).

     

    You must file Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit even if you are normally not required to file a tax return.
