Deductions & credits

TurboTax is only taking away the Advance Child Tax Credit you entered.  When you start your return and/or add your dependents to your info, TurboTax assumes you will receive the full Child Tax Credit of, in your case, $3,000 per child.  Once you enter that you already received the $3,000 you mentioned, it removes that portion from your full credit.  Without that, your amount due on the tracker at the top of the screen goes up.
