@rcuillard When you file your 2020 tax return in 2021---next year-- you will claim your baby as a dependent on that tax return. So no, you cannot claim a newborn right now to get immediate stimulus money. The IRS is only using information from 2018 and 2019 tax returns to issue stimulus checks. They are not using information about children born in 2020. But the stimulus checks being received in 2020 are actually an advance for a credit you can get on next year's tax return. You can get it in 2021.
