Once you have started it, you will need to enter the actual amounts of the stimulus payments you did receive in the section for the Recovery Rebate Credit.  This will be used to calculate the stimulus payment for your new dependent. 

1. In the Federal section, select the Federal Review interview section at the top of the screen.
2. This will take you to the input section for the Recovery Rebate credit.
3. Be sure to indicate the actual amount of each stimulus payment you received on the page that asks if you received a stimulus payment. 
4. There will be two boxes and both need to be completed.  Please enter the amount you actually received for each payment.

Please see the attached link for more information on who can claim the credit.
