The stimulus payment is not a separate check for a baby born in 2021. It would be part of your total 2021 refund. Look at line 30 of your Form 1040. The EIP payment (recovery rebate credit of $1400) might already be there if you entered your child as a dependent for 2021. It is important with a new baby to say the child lived with you the whole year, and to answer NO to the oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. If you did not get the credit on line 30, wait for your return to be fully processed and amend to get it. You should see the child tax credit on line 28.
