2020 baby and 3rd Stimulus

I filed our 2020 taxes mid February and they were accepted. My husband and I claimed our son and our new baby who was born in 2020. Our AGI is well below the limit and I calculated that I should be getting $5,600 with the 3rd stimulus. $4,200 is pending for deposit which leads me to assume the government went off our 2019 taxes and didn’t count our 2020 baby as a dependent. What can be done?

There's nothing you can do. It's up to the IRS. However, since you filed your 2020 income tax return, it's more likely than not that the IRS will use your 2020 information.

Per IRS: You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited.

To read more about the third stimulus payment, see How will the third stimulus impact me?

As with the previous two stimulus payments, the third stimulus payment is not taxable to you.

It appears the IRS used my 2019 taxes as the amount I’ve received is less my baby born in 2020.

Same problem here. I did not receive the $1400 stimulus for my 2020 born son even though i filed my 2020 returns on 2/19. Will wait to see if it's included in my 2020 tax refund, which is still pending. If not, i am considering to do an amendment at some point to claim that money.

If your tax return indicated that you should be due a refund due to the Recovery Rebate, then the stimulus should have come together with your refund. You might try looking at your IRS account to get more information:
