Hi Turbotax community,
Just quick question: I am an international student (nonresident alien), however my baby is an American citizen. Is he eligible for the stimulus payment? Thank you.
Best,
Prass

@rprassetya - please review below. If you are filing single, you are not eligible for a payment, a child is not eligible for a payment on their own because they are a dependent of another taxpayer (in this case its parents)
.... if you are filing joint, what is the status of your spouse (US citizen or Resident Alien) - that is going to make a difference. If the spouse is eligible, then the child is eligible if all the rules below are met (but you would still be ineligible based on the facts your presented)
Q A1. Am I eligible? (updated October 26, 2020)
A1. Generally, if you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, you will receive an Economic Impact Payment of $1,200 ($2,400 for a joint return) if you (and your spouse if filing a joint return) are not a dependent of another taxpayer and have a Social Security number valid for employment and your adjusted gross income (AGI) does not exceed:

Your baby should be eligible. However TurboTax is not intended to be used for non-resident aliens to file. You need to contact TurboTax's partner Sprintax to file and make the claim. https://www.sprintax.com
Congratulations on your baby and Happy New Year.
