Does your child have a Social Security number? Look again at your line 30 and see if anything is there.
The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return. If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021
The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”) If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.

IT TOOK MY STIMULUS MONEY AWAY
You might have become confused by the flow of information in the software. That "refund monitor" on your screen displays a "refund" amount that includes the stimulus money. as part of your 2020 refund. But later when you enter the amount of stimulus you really received already, it removes the stimulus already given to you. And it looks to you like you "lost" your refund, But ---you do not get the same stimulus money twice--that is why it came out.
Look on line 30 of your Form 1040 for your recovery rebate amount.
