Second Stimulus Child Credit

[mjb0021]

I received a reduced amount on the stimulus based on income.  However I have two children and I was under the impression I would see the additional $600/per child.  Is there something I am missing?

Thanks

It depends. When the stimulus payment is reduced because of exceeding the income thresholds, each eligible person's payment will be reduced. The reduction is $5 for every $100 above the threshold based on your filing status.

If income is above the following amounts, the payment will be reduced pro rata. 

Individuals: $75,000

Heads of Household: $112,500

Married, filing jointly: $150,000

For more  information, see How will the second stimulus impact me? or How can I check on my second stimulus payment?

In TurboTax, the stimulus payment section is at the end of the Other Tax Situations.

To return to this area of your return, follow these steps:

• From inside your return, click on Other Tax Situations that is listed as the third tab from the left toward the top of your screen.
• Scroll to the end of this page and in the lower right corner, click Let's keep going.
• Be sure that an amount is entered for each stimulus (or zero) so that the calculation is correct.

So the child credit is not independant this round?  I thought in the first round it was provided to all children that qualified.

The child portion of any economic income payment is now related to income, but it was calculated differently in the first stimulus payment, correct.

To know what stimulus amount to expect, enter your details in a second stimulus calculator at How can I check on my second stimulus payment? 

The tax return is where this will be reported. Any stimulus payment balance owed that has not been received will count to your benefit.
