We had a fourth baby in November of 2019. While going through TurboTax when filing my 2019 taxes, this new baby was mistakenly classified as "credit for other dependents" instead of a child tax credit. We amended our return but haven't heard back yet on if that amendment was accepted. When we got our stimulus check, we didn't get $500 for this fourth baby, only for the other three children. I have a feeling that "credit for other dependents" mistake is what cost us that additional $500 for the new baby. Hopefully this can be fixed with the IRS and we can get the $500 for the newest addition to the family. I heard one rumor that the child has to have lived with you for at least 6 months of the 2019 year but I don't know if that is true.
