Recovery rebate for dependent not applying

I received  and qualified for both stimulus payments last year.  We had a child half way through the year and had not received the 2 stimulus payments for them.  We were supposed to receive $1100 between the 2 payments for our new dependent.  When it reviews how much we got paid it says the the $3600 we received is correct and we aren't due anymore.  How do we get that $1100 to process?

Is your AGI over $150K in 2020?   And are you sure you have the new baby listed as a dependent that lived with you for the whole year (you mark that option even if born in 2020)?   And did you enter a SSN for the newborn?   And congrats on the new addition!

Thank you.  AGI under 150K.  Entered SSN.  However, I only selected part of the year.  I assumed the whole year meant 12 months, but I am still supposed to do that if she was born half way through the year? EDIT: I just reread the turbotax program question and realized that I misread it.  Thank you for the solution.  That solved the problem
