My question is related but specifically here is my question:
I am filling out form 8379 after already filing my joint return for 2019 (form 1040), because they offset my entire stimulus check and put it toward my husband's back child support debt that has nothing to do with me and this debt was incurred for his children from previous relationships before we got married (I am in WA state).
On line 17 of form 8379, the instructions state to "Include any tax credits (except the earned income
credit) reported on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 13a, OR Schedule 3 (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). My line 13a is $2000 for a child tax credit for my child. Schedule 3 only shows my 2019 estimated tax payments of $2650. What amount do I enter on line 17 of 8379? Just the $2000 child tax credit? Or do I also enter my $2650 estimated tax payments I made? Instructions are unclear as it says to enter one OR the other, not both. I am confused.
