Stimulus Overpayment

emartin4790 — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 23:34:35 GMT

My daughter was born in July 2020, which means that we did not receive a stimulus payment for her in January. We received the first payment in April, before she was born. When completing my federal return, Turbo Tax is saying that I am owed the $500 from the first round of stimulus payments from April even though she was not born yet. Is this a glitch and how can I fix it? I would hate to be paid more than I am owed.

Yes you get both payments for her. Did you get the second round 600 too?

No- the stimulus money that we received did not have her calculated into the payments. So in April we did not receive the $500 (which I thought was correct) and then in January we did not receive the $600. The Turbo Tax calculation is saying that we are owed $1,100 and I thought we were only able to claim the missing $600.

You get both for her.
