After you file

@ritadelight -  let me see if I can explain to you..... 

 

from the way you wrote, "we", you filed joint.  Did you receive Letter 6475 indicating how much you received for the stimulus?  if you filed joint, there were TWO letters and you had to add the two letters together when asked by TT, "how much did you receive for the 3rd stimulus".  if you literally copied what was on Letter 6475 from just the one letter, that mistake is what is causing the adjustment. 

 

is that what happened to you? 

 

1) how many people in your family on your tax return

2) times $1400

3) LESS what you received last year (look at your bank statements from March - May. 2021 or from LEtter 6475, but there are two if you filed joint- do not go from memory!!!)

4) is what should be on Line 30 (but not less than zero)

 

let me know what you find out!!!
