Made a error

[Gribble]

How long would my taxes be delayed if I made a error on the amount for the child tax credit (put too much)?

It depends. The IRS does not give schedules on how long it takes to correct an incorrectly filed tax return.

The IRS is already delaying all returns containing the advanced child tax credit. The IRS says:

By law, we can’t issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This includes your entire refund, not just the part that’s related to the credit you claimed on your tax return.

If you claim the EITC or ACTC, we may need more information from you about your return. If we do, we will send you a letter.
