I already field my taxes for 2019 but forgot to add the SSN for my baby born in December, ,

Can I go back and add it so I can receive the stimulus check for him? Thanks in advance

If your return has already been accepted by the IRS, the only way to claim your baby as a dependent is to file an amended return. Since this type of return is not eligible for electronic filing it will take longer to process than your original return. You should also wait until the original return has been processed and you have received your refund to file the amendment to avoid further delays. Please follow the directions in this TurboTax FAQ to prepare your amended return.
