Are you claiming him this year? Then you can also get it for him. Yes if you didn't get any checks yet you can qualify for 2900. That's the way it is. You both end up getting the credit for your son.

The IRS left a loophole for parents that switch out on who claims the child. If you are claiming this year, you also get the stimulus. There is a section on eligibility in the Economic Impact Payment Information Center.
