    Look on line 28 of your Form 1040.   Is there an amount there?  If you claimed your children as dependents, and  if you entered the amount of the advance child tax credit payments you received between July and December, then the other half of the child tax credit goes on line 28, and calculates down to your total refund, as shown on line 35a.   It is part of your refund. It is not sent as a separate check.

      I have $3,000 on line 28 and $488 on line 35a and I don't understand, they deducted 3,000 from what they advanced me but they had to give me 3,000, which is the other half

      @Alfnunez73 - let's try and figure this out

       

      1) look at Form 8812, Line 14f - that is the amount your told TT that you received for the Advance

       

      2) please review your bank account statements from July - Dec, 2021 - DO NOT DO FROM MEMORY.  How much was deposited? 

       

      if these two numbers are not the same, then that is the problem

       

      Line 28 should be $3600 for each child under 6 plus $3000 for each child 6-17 years old LESS what you already received for the Advance. 

       

      Please post the following and I think I can straighten this out for you

       

      1) what is on Line 14f Form 8812?

      2) how much did the IRS deposit into your bank account from July - Dec, 2021. Again, please review the statements and do not do from memory

      3) how old are your children as of 12/31/21? 

      4) please confirm you are saying that the IRS adjusted you tax return by $3,000 (I think that is what you are stating but not sure)
