Get your taxes done using TurboTax

$2192 refund would be correct because the $5300 is included in the total payments. so total payments of $24,211 exceed total taxes of $22,019 by $2,192. the numbers make sense from a math standpoint.  

 

 

in 2020 the CTC reduced your tax but in 2021 the CTC was treated as a tax payment. 

 

there could be a question about the accuracy of the $5300 if you received any advance CTC payments that were not reflected on form 8812 

any advance payments should be on line 14f of the form.
