@andy-skrobko - read @Critter-3 CLOSELY - you could be waiting a YEAR and may have to file an amended return to get that 2nd stimulus payment for your child!!! Who knows at this point! Best to wait until the IRS explains how people in your position are going to get the 2nd payment on their 2020 tax return!
at a minimum this affects MOST EVERYONE who had a child in 2020 (and there are about 3.5 million birth in the US this year), MOST EVERYONE who graduated from college in 2019, MOST EVERYONE who graduated from high school in 2019 and did not go to college! it's a lot of payments the IRS has to clarify because based on 2019 tax returns, which is what they will be using to sent out the checks, almost none of the people I've noted will receive the stimulus via a check or direct deposit.....
All I suggest is understand how the IRS is going to know how to make sure you get that 2nd stimulus payment for your child before filing!!! It'll save you ALOT of headaches.
