Congress has not voted for a third stimulus check.    There have been two stimulus checks.  The first stimulus checks were issued last year based on 2018 or 2019 returns.  The second stimulus checks were issued at the very end of 2020 or early in 2021.   You will have to wait and watch the news to see if a third stimulus bill is passed by Congress.

 

 

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return.  If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”)  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.

 

Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st ad 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.
