Retirement tax questions

So I answered all the dependant questions and it said great tou qualify for the dependant tax break of $6,000 due to you have 3 kids and it listed my kids names. But when I went to submit and file my taxes it didn't reflect that at all. It still said the $3,000 that it showed after I entered my income. It never changed or added the $6,000. does that mean the IRS took that and I'm only getting the $3,000. It never did this last year.
