You received the stimulus payment, and you used the money to pay child support that you owed. It's the same as if they had sent you a check for the stimulus payment and you then wrote a check for child support. The fact that you were forced to use it for child support does not change the fact that you received the stimulus payment.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 09 Mar 2021 21:26:47 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-am-i-able-to-apply-for-the-recovery-rebate-credit-if-my-first-stimulus-check-was-garnished-to-pay/01/2053774#M739621 rjs 2021-03-09T21:26:47Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-am-i-able-to-apply-for-the-recovery-rebate-credit-if-my-first-stimulus-check-was-garnished-to-pay/01/2053778#M739622 <P>Enter the amount you would have received. It is considered given to you even though you never took possession of it because it went towards paying a debt on your behalf.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 09 Mar 2021 21:27:32 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-am-i-able-to-apply-for-the-recovery-rebate-credit-if-my-first-stimulus-check-was-garnished-to-pay/01/2053778#M739622 Bsch4477 2021-03-09T21:27:32Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-am-i-able-to-apply-for-the-recovery-rebate-credit-if-my-first-stimulus-check-was-garnished-to-pay/01/2053880#M739656 <P>Thank you!</P> Tue, 09 Mar 2021 21:42:16 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-am-i-able-to-apply-for-the-recovery-rebate-credit-if-my-first-stimulus-check-was-garnished-to-pay/01/2053880#M739656 andrew-asagra 2021-03-09T21:42:16Z
