Deductions & credits

@jjones3133 Why would you want to file your 2020 tax return and not claim the recovery rebate credit?   On a 2020 tax return you can get the 1st and/or 2nd stimulus amount as a recovery rebate credit--so that would be $1200 for the 1st one and $600 for the 2nd one---up to $1800 total.   If you owe back child support ---why would you not want to see that money go toward paying your debt?   You are not going to find another way around it and get it for yourself if you owe child support.  It would most definitely be seized if you are delinquent in your support payments and the IRS has an order in place to seize your refunds.
