You can also go to Trips tab, and select the flight yourself to check-in.
Not there.

I see it more on AA, but sometimes when the flight number is the same out and back it gets wonky trying to check-in for the return when the same flight number which I get on my BTR-IAH turns.
Also are you checking bags?
Are you trying on the app or the website? On the web my same day turns used to show under flights for check-in tab on main landing page.
No check bag doing it on the app. Definitely book as one way next time.

Only trip showing up there is the outbound flight, which I already checked in.

This is how I got it done. Check in again and suddenly the option of the inbound trip shown up. I am pretty sure the options were not there before. FWIW, my initial attempt was within 24 hrs of the inbound flight.
Thank you for all the help!
