Deductions & credits

I didn't claim a child at all last year.

I am not 25 or older.

I've been a US citizen since I was born.

I was never claimed as a dependent or qualifying child since I reached legal age of adulthood.

I was still able to get my EITC for my 2021 and ended up getting a stimulus check because of of covid on my federal tax return without having a child or dependent, in fact, I've made more income since the 2021 tax year so it still doesn't make sense as to why I can't get anything back for the 2022 tax return 😕
