In TurboTax online, at the screen Let's double-check the amount you received, you are not receiving a third stimulus check for a child born in 2021. If the screen is not awarding the third stimulus check, there must be something in the software that is not awarding you the newborn as a qualifying child.
The new dependent must be reported as a qualifying child for you to qualify for the third stimulus check on your 2021 Federal tax return.
A child is your qualifying child if the following conditions are met:
- Relationship to the individual who’s eligible for the payment: The child is your son, daughter, stepchild, eligible foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, half-sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, grandchild, niece, or nephew).
- Child's age: The child was:
- under age 19 at the end of the tax year,
- under age 24 at the end of the tax year, a student, and younger than you, or
- any age and permanently and totally disabled.
- Child's citizenship: The child’s a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. resident alien, or a resident of Canada or Mexico.
- Child's residency: The child lived with you for more than half of the tax year.
- Support for child: The child didn’t provide over half of his or her own support for the tax year.
- Child's tax return: The child doesn’t file a joint return for the year (or files it only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid).
Under MyInfo for the dependent information, did you report that the new-born dependent lived with you the whole year? Does the child have a valid Social Security number?
