Deductions & credits

@fanfare - 

 

Anyone over the cutoff age who was a dependent on your return was not counted toward your EIP.

 

directionally correct and I agree, but technically, anyone listed as eligible for the "child tax credit" on the face page of the 1040 is counted towards EIP. Yes, that is typically anyone under 17, but if you are permanently disabled and dependent on someone else for more than 50% of financial support, regardless of age, you are eligible for 'child tax credit' status .... there is an exception to ever rule!
