After you file

@Theunknownknight - need more details

1) what is the EXACT amount of the adjustment

2) what is on Line 28 of your tax return? 

 

the way Line 28 works is rather simple:

 

1) $3600 times the number of children under the age of 6 PLUS

2) $3000 times the number of children 6-17 years old LESS

3) what you received each month from July-Dec, 2021 (CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENTS)

 

if the IRS adjusted your refund, it is highly likely due to the amount you entered into TT for #3 does not match what the IRS records indicate they sent you.  Hence, CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENTS again! please do NOT go from memory!)

 

does that help
