Missing child portion of stimulus

By Terry Savage on May 07, 2020 | Wild Card

I filed using the non filer tool Apr 9 claiming my child and it was accepted on the 10 of Apr . Which was well before the deadline of April 22, 2020. I received my payment April 29, 2020 minus my child’s portion who turned 16 in Jan 2020 so I know she was eligible. It seems that I as well as all who used the non filers tool only received their adult portion excluding their children. Given that we don’t file taxes normally receiving it as a 2020 tax credit seems way off considering they asked us to enter our dependents info by a certain date and our children were still excluded. Any help or info on this situation is greatly appreciated!!

No it’s not going to be a 2020 credit. It’s supposed to be a separate payment that will come later, after yours is received. Where did you get the idea that it is a tax credit??
