To get to the stimulus section in TurboTax online:

 

  • Type "stimulus" in Search in the upper right
  • Select "Jump to stimulus"
  • TurboTax will show you a stimulus amount and ask whether the amount matches what you got
  • If it doesn't, say No
  • TurboTax will let you enter what you received and add the extra to your refund

If you type stimulus and don't see this screen, it means your are not eligible based on the information on your tax return. TurboTax will not show you the stimulus screen if it thinks you are ineligible.

Since the stimulus checks are not taxable income you do not have to report it on your return.  However, Turbotax did confirm the amount of the stimulus check I received in 2021.
