There has been no claw back from the multiple and overlapping previous EIP payments. There has been denial of credits, though. Don't confuse EIP and CTC.
Once again, and let me try to translate:
"If you were claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return for 2020, you were not eligible for the third-round Economic Impact Payment. If no one can claim you as a dependent for 2021 and you are otherwise eligible, you can claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, and must file a 2021 tax return to claim the credit."
If you, the taxpayer filing a 2021 return, were claimed by someone else in 2020, you were not eligible to get a payment. But now that you are filing a 2021 return, if you are eligible per the Act, you can submit here that you want the Credit, which is Refundable and will potentially result in you getting the money. Just not back when everyone else got money.
Don't confuse Payment and Credit.
Don't yell at us; we're volunteers
