Based on another question I read on another forum, it seems like the 1444 may only tell you what was deposited into the bank account (or check sent), but does NOT factor in the amount used to pay off Child Support.

For example, a person may have qualified for $1200, but maybe $500 was sent to pay off Child Support.  The 1444 would only show $700 (the amount actually put into the taxpayer's bank account).  So in those cases, the 1444 would NOT be the amount that we need to have.

Can anybody confirm?
