TT entered amt on line30 even tho I got my stimulus I claimed an extra child (dad claimed last yr) now under review processing up to 10 weeks. Is there a turbotax glitch?

You are eligible to receive the stimulus payments for your child if you claim him/her in tax year 2020.

The IRS says in this document:

Parents who are not married to each other and do not file a joint return cannot both claim their qualifying child as a dependent. The parent who claimed their child on their 2019 return may have received an additional Economic Impact Payment for their qualifying child. When the parent who did not receive an additional payment files their 2020 tax return next year, they may be able to claim up to an additional $500 per-child amount on that return if they qualify to claim the child as their qualifying child for 2020.

My line 30 says $700

Why does it seem they are holding tax refunds for many people who have an amt on line 30.

And TT automatically put that number in there after I entered in all my correct information.

TurboTax is a tax preparation software for self prepared tax returns.  Once your return is transmitted to the IRS TurboTax is no longer involved in the process. TurboTax does not receive information on the types of returns not processed for whatever reason.

I venture to guess that it is not the line 30 thing that you mentioned.  IRS has is probably focusing on getting the Forms created to accommodate the new tax law changes and programming to go with that, while preparing to send out the 3rd Stimulus checks, while doing the daily ordinary processing.  There have been so many changes due to the pandemic that is is probably making things run a little slow. 

Here is some information about the American Rescue Plan:
