That is a generic message you get from the IRS when they reduce your refund.  No one filed a return and said you have a child.  The "math error" is the part that most likely pertains to you---the IRS uses "math error" to refer to lots of various kinds of mistakes.   You may have made a mistake with the 3rd EIP payment.  That has been very common this year.   

LOTS of people have made mistakes this year with the recovery rebate credit by "forgetting" that they received the $1400 per person stimulus checks last year.  They answered no to the questions for the  recovery recovery rebate credit and put the $1400 per person on line 30 of their returns.  But you cannot get it twice, so the IRS removes it when it is there by mistake.

Does the IRS show that you received a $1400 stimulus or EIP check in 2021?   Did you receive it?   When you were asked on your tax return did you say no?   Was there $1400 on line 30 of your tax return?

If the IRS says you got $1400 last year but you did not receive it you can have it traced.
