On my 2020 tax return, I claimed my two children as dependents. In 2021, i received stimulus payments only for myself, not for my children. Called the IRS and was told I would have to claim the payments on my 2021 return. I also have not received any tax credit payments so far. My kids are 13 and 15 and eligible.
why do I not get the payments (IRS could not tell me why or how to change it, just told me this happens occasionally?? and to claim the amount on my next return), and does this affect the amount I would have gotten if I had received the payments in 2021?
