Advance child tax credit being added as taxes owed

[johnroberts]

I received advance child tax credit last year. However, when I enter the amount received in Turbo tax it adds the exact amount I received as taxes owed to IRS. This is what Turbox tax itself says:
"The total Child and Other Dependent Credits you qualify for is $4,000. You already received $2,450 of this as advance payments. You'll get the remaining $1,550 on your return, which comes from subtracting your $2,450 in advance payments from your total credit of $4,000."

But that's not what's happening. Is this a bug in Turbo tax? Anyone else encountered the same issue? I would really like to not pay what I don't actually owe.

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.

If your Total tax payments on Line 33 are less than the Total Taxes on Line 24 you will have taxes owed reported on Line 37.
