Please explain why you are asking that question.  Why did you not claim the children on your tax return?   Were you the custodial parent?   

 

 

You do not get a stimulus check for a child you did not claim as a dependent.   Why do you think you do?  In order to get a stimulus check for a dependent child, the child had to be claimed on your 2020 tax return.   If you mean that you are not the custodial parent---then if you and the other parent  had a signed 8332 agreement, then the parent who got the child tax credit could also get the stimulus check for claiming the child.

 

If that was your situation then you can use the recovery rebate credit on your 2020 tax return to get the 1st and/or 2nd EIP payments for dependent children who were under the age of 17 at the end of 2020.
