After you file

@BeaverDamn - then you were subject to the more complicated math as the benefit is reduced for those making over $150,000.  Look at Form 8812, That is the math that explains the reduced benefit due to your income. 

 

Line 14f is what you entered into TT as what you received last year.  But I suspect if you review your bank account records for the 6 months from July - Dec, 2021 (right around the 15th each month), you'll sum to a different amount.  The IRS would have adjusted Line 14f to match their records.  Note the cautionary statement below Line 14f. 

 

does that help?
