If I was a college student in 2019 (dependent), but am independent in 2020 while filing my taxes, how can I claim my stimulus payments? TurboTax does not have any info

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,  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
