@QueenAK95 Was the baby born in 2020? If so, then you could not claim the child on your 2019 return. You will claim the child on your 2020 return when you file it in early 2021. And even if the child was born in 2019, the IRS might have used your 2018 return to issue the stimulus money. They could look at either 2018 or 2019. The stimulus money is actually an advance on money you can get when you file your 2020 return, so you can get it then if your check did not include the $500 for the baby.
