You might have been confused by the questions. You were asked in Federal Review if you received the $1400 per person 3rd EIP ("stimulus") checks---those went out starting in mid-March. You should have received letter 6475 for that. If you said no to the question it would put an amount on line 30 of your tax return.
AND you were asked if you got the advance child tax credit payments between July and December---those were monthly payments of $300 per month for children under age 6, or $250 per month for children 6 to 17.
You could get half of the child tax credit from July to December and then get the other half as part of your refund on your 2021 return. It shows up on line 28.
