I made a typo mistake when entering advanced child tax credit on my e file. Instead of $1,500 I entered $1,250. Will IRS correct this error automatically? It has already been accepted by IRS so I wanted to find out if this minor error will affect me.

Also, will that delay the approval of my return? Will they have to write to me before approving and issue my refund?

The IRS should correct the error and adjust your tax return accordingly since they already know how much of the credit was sent to you.

It may delay the refund but the IRS will not need to send you any correspondence concerning the error.
