Question

Does our child receiving SSI affect the amount of the stimulus money? Why in first round we received 2400 and second 1200 when we have 2 adults and one child?

Your child's Social Security or SSI should have no effect on your stimulus amount.   If your child is a dependent under the age of 17 at the end of 2020 you should receive stimulus for that child.

 

 

  

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return.  If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”)  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
