Recovery care credit

I didn't receive my full stimulus and the software won't allow me to get the credit stating I received the correct amount. I filed HOH, earned $82k and received $1200 for the first and $600 for the second. None for my dependent either time. Turbo tax says this is correct but I should have received a stimulus for my child and didn't. How do I claim the credit when the program won't allow?

Go to personal info and make sure that your dependents are entered correctly with the correct social security numbers. Also make sure that you check property that they are your dependents and that they lived with you all year. A baby born during the year counts as living with you all year.

If everything is done correctly and they are still not coming up for stimulus payments, tjhen delete them and add them back in again.

Yes, you are correct, many of our customers are experiencing delays in receiving their stimulus without being able to access information via the tools the IRS has provided as expected. As our customers continue to have questions regarding the Economic Impact Payments (EIP), we’re continuing to work with the IRS for guidance. We’re updating our customer and expert-facing articles with information as soon as we get it.

Please see the following link about late payments: What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
