Question

We did not receive the $600 per person EIP and we are stating so in our 2020 tax return (not filed yet). Is the IRS going to credit us the $1200 automatically?

No, you will have to report that it was not received.

 

To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps to receive the Recovery Rebate Credit:

  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. If no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount must be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.
