I have done my taxes and need to go back to correct where I put the second stimulus check. I didn't receive it until January 1, 2021 and didn't know where to claim it or not. I think I do need to claim it. Please let me know who to get to that question on my tax forms.

Yes, the first and the second stimulus payment has to be entered in TurboTax. If you haven't filed then please follow these steps:

Log into TurboTax.
After entering all your information click "Federal Review" at the top of your screen.
On the screen "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount" click "Continue".
You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received. If you did not receive a payment enter "0".
TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to get.
Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.

If you have already filed then the IRS might adjust the amount automatically. Please see IRS Recovery Rebate Credit Q D2 What happens if I claim the incorrect amount? for additional information.

Please see How will the third stimulus impact me? for additional information.
