My wife and I did not receive advance payments of the Child Tax Credit, but got letters from IRS stating we got $1,000 each., so they adjusted our returns.

We are now being asked to pay $2,000.
We have been calling the IRS but can’t reach a real person.

The letter should tell you how to appeal so that you don't have to pay right away.

BUT

the adjustment is probably correct.

Check your online account with the IRS to see what is shown there. If the IRS shows that payments were issued to you and you truly did not receive them then you need to have those payments traced.

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.
