After you file

1) please look at Form 8812 Line 14f - that is the amount you told Turbo Tax during the interview process that you had received already

 

2) please review your bank account statements from July - Dec, 2021.  Do not do this step from memory.  How much did the IRS deposit each month.  Look at all 6 months individually.

 

if 1) and 2) do not match, then the IRS will adjust your tax return by the difference.  1) is what you stated the IRS sent you and 2) is what they actually sent you.  they have to match.
