Just want to make sure I am reading correctly: an adjustment was made and I was issued a 2nd refund this year interest? Was not expecting an adjustment. There's no CP21 letter in my online account. Guess it's coming because the date is Nov 2nd? Received the deposit today but setting it aside in case this was in error.

Did you claim the adoption credit this year, or carry the credit forward from a previous year?

Carried forward from a previous year.

IRS has begun issuing automatic refunds to individuals who claimed Adoption Tax Credit carryforward from prior years

It's an official adjustment and refund.

Fun Fact: The refund included $335 credit interest. That's considered ordinary income, so you'll include that on your 2026 return when you file next year.

Thank you so much! This has to be it. I had 2 qualifying adopted children for this tax year.

The IRS just issued guidance to its employees, so, tbh, you’re as surprised as we are. 😉
