After you file

@Charleslj - that is about a $1500 difference.  

 

Did you receive the advance child tax credit?  that was $300 per month from July to December, 2021.

 

Now look at line 28 of your Form 1040 tax return.  That should say $1500 for the remaining half of the child tax credit for one child, but if it says $3000, that means you didn't indicate when prompted within TT that you alrady received $1500.  

 

if that is what occured, then the IRS adjusted your tax return to reflect that you already received $1500 that wasn't reflected on the tax return.

 

is that what occured?
