When you prepared your 2020 tax return you needed to enter the information about your dependents, with their dates of birth and Social Security numbers. Did you do that?
When asked about the amount of stimulus money you received you needed to enter the total amount you had received so far for stimulus check #1 and stimulus check #2. Did you do that?
Look at your Form 1040 and see what is on line 30. It should include the stimulus amount for the children if they are under 17 years old. You do not get stimulus money for a child who was older than 16 at the end of 2020.
The recovery rebate credit you see on line 30 is part of your tax refund.
