We have a family of 5 and I did not receive a stimulus for my 3 children all who were born before 2015 and who have been claimed on all of our taxes. We did our taxes back in February this year and received a small refund.

Same problem here! I filed for 2 adults and 1 child who is 7 months old and only got $2,400. There are a lot of errors across the board it looks like! I’m wondering if these issues are only clients of TurboTax or if it doesn’t matter who you went through for taxes. If anyone finds a way to resolve this, I would love to know, thank you!

My check is wrong as well.  I just heard that all depends claimed on tax returns you should receive credit for and I have 3 dependents and only received for 2.  So who do we contact about this?  Is there an email or phone number

We also are well within the income limit and have three dependents that I’ve been claimed for over three years and our check was $500 short, my friends was also $500 short with two dependents that she has had for several years.

For security reasons, the IRS plans to mail a letter about the economic impact payment to the taxpayer’s last known address within 15 days after the payment is paid. The letter will provide information on how the payment was made and how to report any failure to receive the payment.
