@gregorybutlervg3 understood that you opted out of the advance credits, but just to be sure the tax return itself was correct
1) confirm that Line 14f of Schedule 8812 is zero
2) what is on Line 28 of Form 1040? it should be $3000 times the number of children ages 6-17 and $3600 times the number of children under 6.
3) were you eligible for EITC (Line 27a is greater than zero)?
4) were you denied EITC in the last 10 years?
5) what was the EXACT amount of the IRS adjustment?
The reason I am asking 3) and 4) is that another poster was denied EITC in the last 10 years and the IRS adjusted his refund for BOTH EITC and CTC in 2021. I just want to eliminate that as a potential here.
