Deductions & credits

The question is, Why ?

did you get checks in the mail for the credit? If a check was lost you have to try to recover that outside your tax return.

 

did your payments stop sometime in 2021?

did you file a 2020 1040-X? If so, that would do it.

 

If you try to get the money back by the amendment strategy suggested,

 

a)  it will take over a year for IRS to complete a 1040-X, and/or

b) you may never get it because the 1040-X will be denied.

 

Use your own best judgement.
