After you file

If you reported a child dependent on your 2020 Federal return, TurboTax would have added the amount of stimulus for the child to your Recovery Credit. 

Now I think you are saying that you did get the second stimulus, but not the full amount because of the child. 

 

The IRS will balance the payment you did get with the amount of the Recovery Credit. So if the TurboTax program said your Recovery Credit was 1,700 (600+600+500) and you did get another 600, the IRS will send the remaining 1,100 with your refund. 

 

This may be why your refund is being delayed so they can sort out the payments. 

 

Look at your 1040 line 30 to see what TurboTax calculated for you for the Recovery Credit. Subtract what you received in the meantime.
