Get your taxes done using TurboTax
It's hard to follow the answers posted here. This thread was started in April 2020 about getting the stimulus for a child born in 2020. In 2020 the IRS used your 2018 or 2019 return to send out the Stimulus Checks. BUT it is really based on your 2020 return we will be filing in January 2021. So you will get the first stimulus amount for a child born in 2020.
The Stimulus Check is really based on 2020 tax return. Any amount you already got will be reconciled on your 2020 return line 30. If you didn't get a Stimulus Check (and qualify) or you qualify for more it will be added to your 2020 return. But the good news is if they paid you too much they won't take it back.
When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any. Or to enter your stimulus payment in TurboTax, type "stimulus" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to stimulus."
