It depends. The IRS states that your Recovery Rebate Credit will be adjusted if your child's social security number and name entered on your tax return does not match with what is on their Social Security card. If this information does not match or it was left blank on your 2020 return, the amount associated with that number would be denied.  

 

If you identify an error in the tax return entry, contact the IRS directly and have a copy of the Social Security card available.

 

If there is no error with their name or social security number, then they advise to contact them directly at 800-829-1040.
