then an amendment was the right thing to do.
for the Child Tax credit, the IRS works on a "heads I win, tails you lose moethodology"
if you understate how much you received from the Advance, which results in a higher refund, the IRS is catching these errors and automatically correcting.
if you overstate how much you receive (and this appears to be your situation), which results in a lower refund the IRS is doing NOTHING! They look at it as a gift to the American people, unless you amend and claim the money you are entitled to.
$3000 would be two children ages 6-17.... $4200 would have been the Recovery Rebate Credit, so I see how the error could have occured.
