Missing $1500 from my tax refund

[GetTr0pical]

Money was automatically taken out of my tax refund, and I don't fall under the reasons given for the adjustment (zero dependants). In total, I am missing $1500. The IRS never picks up the phone. How do I resolve this??

Why is my direct-deposited refund or check lower than the amount in TurboTax?

Why is My Tax Refund Not What I Expected?

None of these are applicable to me

Claiming one Child?

$1500 shorted because $3000 child credit was cut in half due to pre-tax credits of $250 a month for 6 month in 2021.

@krycus If you received half during the months of July to December then you only get another $1500.   You got half of that $3000 ahead of time.  Did you think you were supposed to get the full $3000?  And end up getting a total of $4500 for the child?

Yes I'm aware, my reply was explaining this exact thing 🙂
