Issued married 2400 first check, IRS kept all for child support then later sent 1200 back. Do I count as received all of it since it was issued or just 1200 as received?

You enter the $2,400 as received.

[Opus 17 · Accepted solution]

You "received" $2400. Even though half of it was used to pay one of your debts, you still received it.
