After you file

You need to check your copy of your 2019 tax return and see if your son is listed on your tax return.  Also, he might qualify for the child tax credit, you may have received an additional credit on your return if he was listed as a dependent.

 

If he was not listed as a dependent, you would need to amend your return.  Any correction to the stimulus payment will be an adjustment on your 2020 tax return.  So you will receive the $500 credit on your 2020 return.
