Deductions & credits
Be sure you said the new baby lived with you the WHOLE YEAR! Go back and check that.
If you had a child born in 2021- Add them under My Info. You need to answer 2 questions…..
Did your child live with you for the whole year? Answer YES even if they were born late in the year (even on Dec 31).
Then was at least half of child's expenses paid by CHILD? Usually is NO.
Or your AGI is too high. Or did you lose a dependent? Your stimulus check is based on the number of qualifying people listed on your tax return. You don't receive a check for the new baby necessarily, it is just based on the number of qualifying people listed on your return.
So, if you lost one qualifying person you aren't claiming this year and replaced that person with a new baby, you still have the same number of qualifying persons on your return.
