@Ismail85 -
1) I assume the missing the children are all under the age of 17?
2) look at your 1040 tax form and WAY over to the right are some check boxes. Are they checked under "child tax credit" or "dependent tax credit"
3) you will be receiving a letter IRS within 2 weeks and hopefully there is a "complaint' process on that letter to follow
4) worst case scenario:
- The stimulus payments are really based on your 2020 tax return (income, dependents, etc).
- The IRS is using either 2018 or 2019 – whatever is available - to ESTIMATE that payment
- When you file next year there will be a “settle up” section on the tax return.
- If you are due more stimulus (and this would include children missing from the payment), you will receive it through the 2020 tax filing as an additional refund
- If you received too much stimulus (not the issue here), by law , you are not required to return it
