Question

I had a child in 2019 and this was noted on my 2019 return. We were not paid on either stimulus for him. IRS said to claim on 2020 return. Turbotax gives no option

When I enter what we got, TT states it looks right and moves on.  How do I claim the $1100 we are owed for him?

first, the 2nd stimulus payment is not programmed in yet.  it should be there by the time the filing window opens in late January as it affects everyone

 

did you fill in the stimulus questions at the END of the interview? 

 

so you should see $500 on Line 30 on Form 1040.  

 

depending on your income it is possible you are not due any more stimulus, even for the child, but we have to understand more first.   Did you receive the entire $1200 or $2400 from the first payment? if no, how much did you receive?

Also, when you get to the stimulus question that asks how much you received, only respond with the amount of the first stimulus payment for the time being.  Again, that is because the 2nd stimulus is not programmed it yet, that could also be the problem
