Filing through Turbotax will not keep you from getting the stimulus for a child if you are otherwise eligible. How old was the child in 2019? The stimulus for children only includes dependents under 17.

My son is born in 2006. he is 13 years old now. he is leaving with us as parent ( my wife and myself ) and no one is claiming him as depended other than us.

Per the IRS:

If you did not receive the full amount to which you believe you are entitled, you will be able to claim the additional amount when you file your 2020 tax return. This is particularly important for individuals who may be entitled to the additional $500 per qualifying child dependent payments. For VA and SSI recipients who don’t have a filing requirement and have a child, they need to use the Non-Filer tool (link) on IRS.gov by May 5 in order to have the $500 added automatically to their $1,200 Economic Impact payment. We encourage people to review our “How do I calculate my EIP Payment” question and answer (See question 11).
