Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, it's normal. What you're missing is that when you started your tax return TurboTax assumed that you did not receive any advance payments, so it gave you the full $2,000 credit, and calculated your tax on that basis. When you told it that you got $1,800 of the credit in advance, it reduced the credit to $200 instead of $2,000 and recalculated your tax, so your tax went up by $1,800.
The little box that shows your refund or tax due while you are working on your tax return is really not meaningful until you have entered everything.
