did you fill out the section about stimulus near the end of the tax return? it'll ask how much you received for the 1st stimulus and then the 2nd stimulus.

 

I assume you mean YOU didn't receive the stimulus for your dependent? that dependent has to be under 17 years old on 12.31.20. to get you the stimulus / recovery credit.   is that the problem? 

 

if you are due more, it will appear on Line 30 of Form 1040.
