Question

I received child tax payments monthly last year but didn't receive the rest on my return. Would I need to file an amended return to correct this or just call the irs?

The Child Tax Credit is entered on your federal tax return Form 1040 on Line 28. It is added to your other tax payments, it is not a separate refund. Your Total taxes from Line 24 are subtracted from your Total tax payments on Line 33. If you have an overpayment then that is entered on Line 34 as your federal tax refund.

Review the form 8812 in your return ... it is possible that you got all of the credit in advance that you are allowed on the 2021 return based on the 2021 income limitations. If you go too much in advance you do not need to pay it back.
