3rd Stimulus for 2020 dependents

We adopted 2 kids in 2020.  I did not receive the first 2 stimulus checks for them but when filling out my federal return I was able to get the Recovery Rebate Credit for them.   I filed about 2 weeks ago and the IRS is still processing my return but I have already received the 3rd stimulus and it did not include the 2 children we adopted.  What are the next steps I need to take to get the 3rd stimulus for those 2 children since I've already filed? 

thanks

    Unfortunately, at this moment the IRS has not provided any guidance on this.  TurboTax will definitely be updating the information as we get it so please check back.  

     

    If you have an adjusted gross income (AGI) of up to $75,000 ($150,000 married filing jointly), you should be eligible for the full $1400 stimulus payment.

     

    As your AGI increases over $75,000 ($150,000 married filing jointly), the stimulus amount will go down. The stimulus check rebate will completely phase out at $80,000 for single filers with no qualifying dependents and $160,000 for those married filing jointly with no dependents.
