list your dependents on your 2020 tax return and you will get the $500 that was overlooked somehow..

@magbart - as long as she is your "qualifying child" (and if you are receiving the up to $2000 child tax credit, she is) .... when you complete your 2020 tax return, you should see the $600 on line 30 of Form 1040.
