If I had my baby at the end of January and she wasn’t claimed on this years taxes, would I still get $500 for her through the stimulus check?

Question

Answer

I heard they are using 2018 tax returns not 2019 as majority of people have not filed them....

Answer

No she had to have been claimed on a tax return. And since she wasn’t born until 2020 I assume the January that you mean then no. The Irs doesn’t know she exists since she has not been claimed on a tax return.

Answer

Nope. Baby had to have been born in 2019 as that's the current tax year.

Answer

All children who are eligible need to have been claimed in the 2018 or 2019 tax year. 2020 babies are SOL

Answer

Not right away, but according to this article you will receive the $500 in your 2020 tax return, once your baby is claimed.
