Deductions & credits

Yes, I understand that and it is true that the IRS has been adding credits to returns this year. 

 

I do not know what your concerns are, but the IRS may be concerned as to why you did not claim the credit when you are eligible. 

 

Basically, if you are eligible, claim it. If you are not eligible, it shouldn't be available. 

 

The only way to not claim it is to do you taxes by hand, overlook the credit and mail the return in. 

Again, after a review the IRS might apply the credit regardless.
