@Xandi001 - please read @VolvoGirl 's repsonse closely.  it is very good

 

The one thing I wanted to add, and this may be part of the confusion,  @VolvoGirl provides the background on EIP1 and EIP2; they  have NOTHING to do with the 2021 tax return; they were part of the 2020 tax return, even though EIP2 was received by most in January 2021.

 

for the 2021 tax return, the focus is on EIP3 only.
