2021 Economic Impact Payment

How does TurboTax figure the amount of 2021 stimulus you qualify for? 

 

For my situation, my girlfriend received $4,200 for her and her two children and I received nothing (made too much as a single person on the previous year's tax return).  We married in 2021 and our combined income is less than the joint 150k limit, so I assumed I would be getting the $1,400 bump now that I also qualify.  For some reason, TurboTax has figured we were only eligible for $2,800 and won't allow that value to be edited.  I reread what a 'qualifying dependent' is and rechecked their info in TurboTax and I don't see any reason that would be the case.
