@gregorybutlervg3 WAIT - if you are stating that your tax refund was adjusted by $4200 that is likely the Recovery Rebate Credit and not the Child Tax Credit.
Here is what most likely occured. I've seen a lot of posts like this with the same result.
1) for the stimulus, you were eligible for $1400 times the number of people in your family or $8400
2) during the Turbo Tax interview you were asked to enter how much you received and were also prompted to look at Letter 6475. I suspect you have that letter and it states $4200. BUT THERE WERE TWO LETTERS. One for each spouse and each letter noted $4200, which were to be added together!!!!!
3) So I suspect you entered $4200 as the amount received
4) the result was $8400 less the $4200 entered meant $4200 was posted on Line 30.
5) But the IRS records are that they sent you $8400, so they adjusted Line 30 to zero which reduced your refund by the same $4200
6) please check you bank account statement from last March - May, 2021 and confirm you received $8400. If yes, then the IRS adjustment is correct.
does this make sense?
