Question

second stimulus check

We rec'd our second stimulus check on 1/4/21. Does this still count as rec'd in 2020?

Yes, you have to report both stimulus payments on your 2020 tax return, even if your receive the second payment in January 2021.

In fact, both these payments are advanced payments of the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit.

Please read this IRS document on the Recovery Rebate credit.
