Were your dependents no older than age 16 at the end of 2020?

You have not mentioned who the dependents are. You can use the recovery rebate credit to get the 1st or 2nd stimulus amounts for dependent children who were UNDER the age of 17 at the end of 2020. If you have dependents under the age of 17 on your 2020 return make sure you entered their Social Security numbers.

The third stimulus has different rules -- you get stimulus money for a dependent of any age for the third one. But you do not enter anything about the 3rd stimulus on your 2020 return.
