You cannot claim an additional payment for a child born in 2020 if you received a payment for another child. The Economic Impact Payments were advance payments of the Recovery Rebate Credit.

 

Generally, if you had the same number of qualifying children on your 2019 tax return that you’ll have on your 2020 tax return – even if they are not the same children – it’s likely we already  issued you the full amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit as two Economic Impact Payments.

 

If you were issued the full amounts of Economic Impact Payments, you won’t be eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit for your child born in 2020 even though that child is a qualifying child for the credit.
