@Notaboy

Are you stating that the IRS only sent you a refund of $1687 and not $12, 461? is that your issue? or did the iRS send you an additional $1687?

please repost.

Based on the information you posted, assuming the children are between the ages of 6-17, and you filed HOH, the refund calculated is correct.

did you receive a notice from the IRS why they adjusted your return (that will come 2-3 weeks after the money arrives). did you ask the preparer?

It is almost as if the IRS removed the 3 children, so that the Child Tax Credit was removed and the Earned income credit was removed as well (if single, income is too high for EITC)... did anyone else claim these children?????????

Correct on return $12461 Irs adjusted $1687 I have to prove 3 dependants are my biological daughter's and proof of residency but here's the catch I was audit back in 2015 all 3 dependants and same address I always use I proved the dependants are my biological daughter's and nobody claims them but me and my address is still the same back in 2015. On another note when I go to I irs website and use EIC assistant to calculate EIC I use $10,136 my 2021 EIC $6,275is greater than 2019 $6,274 EIC by one dollar.
