2020 Stimulus Returns

I did not receive stimulus in 2020, even though I made wayyyyy less than the cutoff. I was told that when I file, I could apply to get the stimulus on my return. I've finished filing through the free IRS Turbo-Tax edition (the one that the IRS website tells you to use if you are trying to claim stimulus.). Nothing mentioning stimulus has appeared. I don't know what to do. I went through the federal review and nothing came up. I can't think of a single reason why I didn't get stimulus (I make barely anything in terms of wages). TurboTax didn't recognize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It is called the Recovery Rebate Credit on the tax form.  Look at your Form 1040, line 30.  But were you claimed as a dependent for 2020?

    I was claimed as a dependent. Where can I get my form 1040? Do I have to fill it out myself?
