most everyone who posts on these boards with a similar experience has an adjustment on Line 28 (Child Care Credit) or Line 30 (Recovery Rebate Credit / Stimulus); it normally boils down to the taxpayer stating they received less IN CASH last year for these two benefits than the IRS records indicate., resulting in a reduced refund or increased amount owed for the difference 

what does the letter state? 

what do you have on these two line items?  Please post and from that I can probably explain what occured.
