After you file

What do you mean by ''you would have gotten an overpayment''?   If you are not married and file separate returns, then you should have only entered what you received and she should enter what she received.   Whoever claims the baby on the 2020 tax returns is entitled to the credit; it doesn't matter what amount you received already.   Same with the other children, it doesn't matter what you received as stimulus payments, you qualify for payment for the children you claim on your 2020 return.   If you received too much money, you don't have to pay it back, but if you did not receive what you qualify for, you will receive it as the recovery rebate.   If you put down that you received more than was actually sent to you, then that is probably what is causing the delay.   But it may be something completely unrelated to that.   @aodmisery
