@Rena789 What "rebate" are you saying you did not get? Are you referring to the recovery rebate credit for stimulus payments #1 and/or #2? You only get the EIP payments for yourself and for a child dependent under the age of 17----you do not mention the ages of your niece or your son. If they were older than 16 at the end of 2020 you do not get a stimulus payment for them. Did you get the stimulus for yourself? How old was your niece?
As for being charged for using TurboTax---we cannot see what software you used. You might have started out in the Free Edition but if you entered anything that required the use of any of the three possible schedules that are part of the Form 1040 then you had to upgrade to a paid version of the software. At the end it would have shown you the fees and you had to choose whether to pay upfront or have the fees deducted from your federal refund.
To avoid this for next year, use the IRS Free File site and use a different software:
