If you enter the child as a dependent on the 2020 return AND you enter the amount you actually got in the advance stimulus payments AND your income is not too high on the 2020 return THEN any stimulus money you are entitled to will be on line 30 of the form 1040.
Unfortunately the reconciliation of the advance payments to the actual amount you are entitled to on the 2020 credit uses the 2020 INCOME figures so if you are over the limit to get the credit and you did not get it in advance (based on the 2018 or 2019 income limits) you will not get it now.

A1. The eligibility requirements are the same for the Recovery Rebate Credit as they were for the Economic Impact Payments except that the credit eligibility and the credit amount are based on your 2020 tax year information. The Economic Impact Payments were based on your 2018 or 2019 tax year information.
Individuals who didn’t qualify for the Economic Impact Payments or did not receive the full amount of the recovery rebates as Economic Impact Payments may be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit based on their 2020 tax situation. If you received the full amount for each Economic Impact Payment, you won’t need to include any information about either when you file your 2020 tax return. You received the full amount if:
Generally, if you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020, were not a dependent of another taxpayer and have a Social Security number that is valid for employment, you are eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit.

Your payment will be reduced by 5% of the amount by which your AGI exceeds the applicable threshold above.

Also, individuals who died prior to January 1, 2020 are not eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit.
