@danielg1z Sorry--you misunderstood. When they sent out those first EIP payments they could not take the first one for child support. But that was the only one that could not be taken.
But now, any refund on your 2021 return is subject to being seized for child support or back taxes, even the stimulus recovery rebate credit or the child tax credit. Sorry--they can take as much of it as necessary to pay the amount you owe even it they take all of it.
Edit----the 2nd EIP payment could not be seized for child support if it was sent as a check by itself. The 1st EIP payment was subject to being seized for child support.
ANY stimulus payment on a tax return as a recovery rebate credit is subject to being seized for child support.
