Deductions & credits

I am having a similar situation.  My adult son received his own 3rd stimulus in 2021 based on the fact that he worked and filed taxes in 2019.  In 2021 he only worked a little bit, so my husband and I are claiming him as a dependent for 2021, though he is filing his own tax return.  My husband and I received $2800 in the 3rd stimulus, but because we are claiming our son as a dependent in 2021 Turbo Tax thinks we should have gotten $4200, which is not correct since our son got his own stimulus payment in 2021.   We are doing his taxes and Turbo Tax is not giving us a prompt for entering his stimulus check information.  I can only assume it is because he is considered a dependent on someone else's return.  I am at a loss as to how to handle this.
