How can I go back in a.change my child tax credit information if my return is pending??? I put i received 1800 when I only received 1500

You can't change it.

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending. By late January/early February the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files.   If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.   If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix your mistake.

The IRS knows how much they sent to you.   If they accept your return, they will probably catch your mistake and adjust it for you----expect it to take extra time.

Just as for 2020, IRS will be manually reviewing and making adjustments on all tax returns with errors like yours. Expect delays.

I predict lots of confusion with the child tax credit and lots of delays again.  I hope I am wrong.
