Can I challenge the $3000 reduction on my tax refund? My estimated refund was $8381 but the IRS reduced it to $5,284 because an error in the SSN of a dependent.

My estimated refund was $8381 but the IRS reduced it to $5,284 because an "error in the SSN of a dependent was incomplete or missing. The last name of an individual claimed as a dependent does not match their records. One or more individuals claims as a qualifying dependent exceeds the age limit." I checked and all information regarding my 5-year old son is accurate.
