I would love some information on the Cares Act, and how it would affect me? I usually don’t get a lot from taxes back and I was wondering how that works?

If you are referring to the $1200 Stimulus payment, no, it is only for those who have lost money from their jobs.    It is meant to stimulate the economy (which DOES help other people keep their jobs).  They WANT everybody to SPEND the money, so in turn, that spent money can be used by others, which as you said, can help people keep their jobs

So if you were to not spend the money, you are helping the keep the economy down, and effectively helping to keep people unemployed.

In direct answer to your question, it is a tax credit.  So in order to file a correct 2020 tax return, you NEED to accept it.
