@egg1 Only the IRS can explain why they reduced your refund. You asked if any others have had this experience----a LOT of people made mistakes with the child tax credit and/or the recovery rebate credit ---those mistakes often resulted in reduced refunds or more tax owed. The IRS caught and corrected mistakes that were on lines 28 (additional child tax credit) or line 30 (recovery rebate credit.)
You should receive a letter from the IRS in several weeks that explains why they reduced the refund.
