How important is my exact child support amount

I receive court ordered child support for one child and not court ordered child support for another. Should I include both as child support received in that section? I know I don't need to list it as income. Also, how exact of an amount do I need to report?

You do not need to report child support at all. Child support is not taxable and does not need to be reported on your tax return.
