Question

IRS Reference number 9024: We changed the amount claimed as Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return...none of the reasons apply to me from what I can see.

They state one or more of these are not correct on my file:
The Social Security number of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent was missing or incomplete.
The last name of one or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent does not match our records.
One or more individuals claimed as a qualifying dependent exceeds the age limit.
Your adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 if married filing jointly, $112,500 if head of household).

Both of the kid's SSN's are correct. Both last names are correct. Both were under 16 in 2020. We were under the joint limit in 2020. When I try to call the IRS, i jump through all of the hoops and then it says they are too busy and try back later. What is going on?!

Wait for a letter from the IRS with specifics.  But it may be that the IRS records indicate you already sent these amounts as stimulus payments.  (Some were sent as debit cards, which you might have thrown out as junk mail.)
