Congratulations on your recent Adoption!!! How exciting!!!!! You are special people for adopting a foster child that is such a super need!!!!!
Since your child was adopted in 2021 the change in status may have confused the IRS. Switching from a foster child to adopted child status. Sometimes the transition from foster care dependent to your child has to go through several channels such as Social Security and other things. I would suggest contacting the IRS just to verify the information is correct on the IRS side.
The IRS telephone number is 1-800-829-1040, and they are available from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The best time to call is early in the morning.
The first question the automated system will ask you is to choose your language.
Once you’ve set your language, do NOT choose Option 1 (regarding refund info). Choose option 2 for “Personal Income Tax” instead.
Next, press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment”.
Next, press 3 “for all other questions.”
Next, press 2 “for all other questions.”
When the system asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, do NOT enter anything.
After it asks twice, you will be prompted with another menu.
Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Finally, press 4 for all other inquiries. The system should then transfer you to an agent
