After you file

The refund is included on line 28 of your 1040.  It is not a separately issued payment.  If you had a newborn, did you select that the child lived with you for all 12 months?  If you didn't you will need to go back and change it to get the credit.  A child born in 2021 is counted as having lived with you for the entire year.
