So, we’ve had two stimulus checks and so far my 1 year old has NOT gotten money either time. Taxes were filled out properly and dependents are on the taxes and live in my home and, despite my insistence, has not contributed to half my income. What now?
I have tested this on my 2020 Premier desktop edition using every filing status, Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately and Head of Household. If every instance with a child as a dependent, born in 2019, the program added $1,100 (EIP1 $500 EIP2 $600) to Form 1040 Line 30 as a tax credit. In the Final Review section I entered the correct amount of stimulus received for each filing status.
Single/Married Filing Separately/Head of Household - $1200/$600
Married Filing Jointly - $2400/$1200
Go back to My Info and check all your answers carefully for the dependent. Make sure you selected Your Child, the date of birth in 2019 is correct, the child lived in your home for the Whole Year, that the child did NOT provide over one-half of their own support, that there was NOT another person supporting the child in your household and the child has a valid Social Security number.
If the answers are correct then delete the dependent and re-enter.
