After you file

@bjust9 - that is odd..... would you mind posting your AGI on Line 11 of Form 1040 (this board is anonymous.)  I wonder if a high income is driving this - but TT should have caught that as well.  

 

it is a little odd that the CTC is $2900; normally it's $3,000. But if you were due $2900 (because your income was high and the phase out began) and received $1500 as the advance, then $1400 should be on line 28.....

 

I'll assume your child was between the age of 6 and 17 in 2021?

 

Also, did you paper file or efile? if Paper File did you check that what the IRS said was blank actually is? (could be a keypunch error if paper filed - not possible of efiled).,
