After you file

@jvpski12 

 

during the interview process, TT asked you to enter the amount you received for the Advance Child Tax Credit

 

if what you entered did not match the IRS records (the IRS is who sent the Advance to you, so they have the records of what was sent). the IRS adjusted Line 28 by the difference, which reduces your refund / increases what you owe

 

Suggest checking your bank account records from Jul- Dec, 2021 to confirm what you received (would have been around the 15th each month)

 

Then look on Line 28 of your tax return.  Line 28 is  the number of children under 6 years old times $3600 PLUS number of children 6-17 years old times $3000 LESS what you received from July- Dec, 2021.

 

What do you have on Line 28 of your tax return compared to the math in my paragraph above? do they match? if not THAT is why the IRS adjusted your return.
