Missing $1400 stimulus payment for 2021 newborn - Do I qualify?
Got $5200 stimulus for my family of 5 but I think we're missing one payment. My baby was born in 2021 and I heard newborns from that year qualify for the $1400 stimulus. Anyone know if I can still claim this?

Yes, you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit for your 2021 newborn on your 2021 tax return. Since your child was born in 2021, they qualify for the third stimulus payment. You'll need to file Form 1040 and claim the missing $1400 there.

Line 30 of Form 1040 is where you'll claim the Recovery Rebate Credit 👍

Hey I was in the exact same boat! I used taxr.ai to figure this out - it scans your transcript and tells you exactly how to claim missing stimulus. Its only $4.99 but saved me hours of research. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% legit! Its actually recommended by tax pros in this sub. Way better than trying to decode transcript codes yourself
