Yes ctc is checked off for all my kids including the new baby. I triple checked everything and I also studied up on the laws and requirements for each EIP as well as for the RRC so I fully understand. The person I spoke with at the IRS yesterday was going by the rules set forth for them to follow when issuing payments for the first 2 EIP. These payments are advanced credits of the recovery rebate credit. So if you don’t get the EIP or you don’t get all of what you were supposed to then you claim the credit. RRC goes by your 2020 tax info. They are supposed to calculate the total amount you should receive for the first payments by your 2020 tax info then subtract the amount you already received and either refund you the remaining or reduce your tax bill if you owe. I was due $1100 for the baby born in February 2020. I have 5 kids total all under 12 so my dependents are 5 for 2020 instead of 4 from 2019. I don’t think there is any other way for me to get what I’m supposed to be getting until I can get someone on the phone that actually understands what the recovery rebate credit is.
