Why have we not gotten the $500 for child credit for stimulus?

We filed non filer through Intuit, we filed as a couple and claimed our minor son as a dependent, but we did not receive credit for him, can anyone explain why? We opted for direct deposit.

    okay, the IRS is required to follow up via US MAil with a letter explaining what they did with in 15 days of you receiving the stimulus.  Hopefully there is a dispute process noted in that letter!

     

    you appear to have done everything correctly.

    please take a look at the tax form itself.  look at the line where your child's name is listed and then look ALL THEY WAY over to the right.... which box is checked? "child tax credit" or "other dependent tax credit"

     

    let me know!

    The form shows "Child Tax Credit" is checked off.

    Thanks
