Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
Take a closer look at your Form 1040. Do you see the $3600 on line 28? THAT is where you will find your 2021 child tax credit ---and then it calculates down to the refund you see on line 35a or helps to pay tax you owe from the credit.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
And....for a child born in 2021 you should also be seeing the $1400 3rd EIP payment as a recovery rebate credit on line 30.
