If you did not get either of  the first 2 stimulus checks you need to file a 2020 return and if you qualify any amount will be on the form 1040 line 30.

 

By filing the 2020 return the third stimulus payment may be released  however if you don't get it in advance you can apply for the credit on the 2021 return.

If you did not receive your first and/or second stimulus payment or if the amount received is not correct, you can claim it on your 2020 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit. 

  

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. 

The third stimulus will be claimed on your 2021 tax return.
