@Drmfsn - did the IRS remove the $700 and reduce your refund by that amount? it sounds like that is what you are stating.
1) go back to your bank account statements from last March - May, 2021 and see how much the IRS direct deposited. Please do not do this from memory.
2) that Letter 6475 - normally there are TWO letters, since you filed joint, with one letter addressed to each spouse. Each letter would have had $2100 on it, so that I wonder when you look in your bank statements, there was $4200 deposited.
3) did you have a dependent in 2020 that is not on your tax return in 2021?
4) you are correct that you are entited to $1400 per person but from that you must subtract what was already received and I suspect that is $4200.
5) if you received $4200 and were entitled to $2800, then is no requirement to return the $1400 - in otherwords, Line 30 can not be less than zero.
is that what happened?
