@tommyfagan7976 - let's go back and see if it is even necssary .
even though it is 2022, you can still file a 2020 tax return...however,
1) there is no filing requirement if your child earned less than $12,400 on W-2s. If there are withholdings, the only way to get them back is to file, but if you don't want to go through the effort, the IRS won't care. State filing requirements may be a little different, so check your state.
2) there is no filing requirement if your child earned less than $400 on a 1099-NEC. State filing requirements might be different.
The deadline for filing a 2020 tax return to get any refund due you is May 15, 2024. After that date, the IRS will not refund any money due you (although if you owe taxes, you still owe).
