I got to the end where I file. I received $1500 in advance child tax payments in 2021. I entered that information where it asked for it. My return at the end (total) is just under $1500. That's just my normal return from my income from my job---the quick math will tell you that I'm obviously NOT getting the other half of it on this tax return. It is not adding the other $1500 (the other half of the $3,000) to it but if I go back and say that I did NOT get the advance payments, it adds the $1500 to my return. Seems to me to be a software glitch. How does it know I'm owed the other $1500 (and not the full $3,000) when I enter that I didn't receive advanced payments? If I file without claiming the advanced payments, I'm sure there will be issues down the road with that. All I know is that I'm owed the other $1500 and your software seems to think I don't.
Look at your Form 1040 Line 28 for the child tax credit. That amount is included in your tax refund or it has reduced the amount of taxes owed.
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
