No one in the user forum can see your tax returns so no one knows why your refund was changed. Did the IRS send you a letter to explain the change? When the IRS reduces your refund they mail you a letter to tell you why they changed your refund. The letter usually comes several weeks after you receive the reduced refund. For 2020 and 2021, there were lots of people who made mistakes with the recovery rebate credit --and for 2021 returns in particular--mistakes with the child tax credit. Did the IRS make a change to your line 28 or line 30 on your tax return?
