We are not currently aware of any way to request additional payments now for payments that are not correct. Some taxpayers have reported that their payments have come in multiple deposits.
There are a number of reasons that the IRS may not send payments for children in the advance payment being sent out now, including if the children are listed on more than one person's return (the IRS may not be able to determine which person is entitled to the payment for 2020.)
However, there is no way to be sure what may have happened in your case.
Any payment that is less than the full amount to which a taxpayer is entitled can be claimed on the 2020 tax return when filed.
You will receive the $500 per child as a credit on your 2020 tax return, when you file in 2021.
