The payments were an advance credit for 2020.  2019 information was only used in sending out the payments since 2020 tax returns had not been filed at the point the stimulus payments were sent out.  They are being reconciled when you do your 2020 return.  In some cases, people may have been given a stimulus payment based on their 2019 dependents that did not qualify based on their 2020 dependents, and vice versa. 

 

You received a stimulus payment for yourself and 1 dependent.  In 2020, you are filing a return for yourself and 1 dependent.  You should not have gotten a payment for your 10 year old daughter based on not claiming her in 2020.  You will not receive anything additional for a stimulus payment.
