After you file

@kirch - can you please provide some specifics before recommending a path forward or amending your return.

 

1) what is on Line 28 of Form 1040

2) how many children do you have listed on your tax return and their ages as of 12/31/21.

3) what was your filing status in 2021?

4) what was your filing status in 2020? 

5) how much did YOU receive for the Advance Child TAX credit in 2021? please do not respnd from memory but rather review your bank statements from July - December, 2021

 

I am not confident that what he paid back has any bearing on your tax return.  it normally doesn't work that way
