recovery rebate credit 2021

I don't understand how this happened, however I now owe the IRS $1400 + $309 in interest for underpaying taxes in 2021.

I entered $1400 in line 30 of tax return form 1040-SR. Today I can see that line 30 indicates tax money I "paid". I did not pay that tax money - it was money I received from the government. 

Given this was 4 years ago I don't recall why I entered $1400 in line 30. I just follow the yellow brick road with Turbotax prompting.

 

Is here any recourse here other than sending a check to the IRS for $1709?
