@freebirdcdwc , if you have lost the letter from the IRS and cannot be found, you have two options:
(a) go to local IRS office and ask for help , including all the documents that IRS would have needed to confirm your claim to child credit / additional credit etc.
(b) I am not certain but I thin you could go on-line at --- >
Online account for individuals | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
and be able to see all your interactions with the IRS. This is what the IRS office would pull up to answer your queries.
Hope this helps
