I am married (filing jointly) with two kids, one of which was born in 2019. I filed my taxes early enough in 2020 that the stimulus payments we received were based off my 2019 taxes instead of 2018 because we are in the phaseout and made less in 2019 than in 2018. We only received the stimulus payment for one child on both the first and second stimulus. I called and tried to get it figured out and they always told me that it would need to be corrected on the 2020 taxes. So now I'm filing my 2020 taxes and we made more in 2020. When I complete the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet it is based on my 2020 AGI which is higher than 2019 so now it says I don't qualify for the additional payment that I missed out on last year because they made an error and didn't pay us for two kids. If they had paid us when they were supposed to pay us for them we wouldn't have to pay it back though. Is there any way to get this corrected? I've spent A LOT of time on the phone with people in the IRS who just can't wrap their head around the situation or are defiantly wrong about how the process works. Thank you for your help!
