You must mean your 2021 return--since no one will file a 2022 return until next year in 2023. If your child was born in 2021 then you should have received the 3rd stimulus amount of $1400 for the child on line 30 of your 2021 Form 1040. Did you claim your child as a dependent on the tax return? If you did then that $1400 should have gone to line 30 automatically---so look at the tax form. The stimulus money does not come as a separate check. It is part of your tax refund, and calculates down to line 35a. If you have a child born in 2021 you should also be getting the child tax credit of $3600 which will be on line 28.
Before you start thinking you "forgot to claim" a credit---look over your Form 1040.
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
If you filed without claiming your child correctly then you need to wait for the return to be fully processed and then amend it, but do not do that until it has been fully processed.
And....how did you file? Did you e-file or did you mail the return? If you mailed it, you are still waiting because the IRS is taking six to nine months to process mailed returns.
