How do I get the stimulus check for a baby born in 2021?

Enter the child as a dependent in the My Info section of the program.  Make sure that you select the child lived with you for the whole year and lived in the US for the whole year.

You will be asked about the stimulus payment received or not received in Federal Review after completing the Other Tax Situations section of the TurboTax program.

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.

 

The software will add it automatically.   Look at line 30 of your Form 1040.   And make sure you go through all of the questions in Federal Review.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

 

P.S----look at line 28 for the child tax credit which would also have been added automatically.
