Did anyone else only receive stimulus payment for themselves and NOT for their children? I have children 15 yrs old and younger, no one claims them but me and I didn’t receive the $500 payment for them. I only got $1200. What can I do to get my full payment?

For security reasons, the IRS plans to mail a letter about the economic impact payment to the taxpayer’s last known address within 15 days after the payment is paid. The letter will provide information on how the payment was made and how to report any failure to receive the payment.

@Jrprncss86 -  please look at your tax return and WAY OVER to the right, there is a check box...which box is checked? "child tax credit" or "other dependent tax credit"?
