The child tax credit 2021 payments are going out today and some people have questions about the program.
Luckily, we’ve got a nice breakdown of what you need to know about the child tax credit 2021 payments.
- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is sending out advance tax credits to qualifying individuals for the 2021 tax year.
- To qualify for these advance tax credits, filers will have to have done a few things.
- The easiest is to have filed a 2019 or 2020 tax return and claimed the child tax credit for those years.
- Doing so will have you automatically signed up for the new advance payments going out.
- There are other ways that you can be eligible for the advance child tax credit in 2021.
- That includes giving the IRS your info for Economic Impact Payment using the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here tool.
- In addition to this, it requires a main home in the U.S. for more than half a year.
- This can also count if filing jointly with a spouse that has a main home in the U.S. for more than half a year.
- You must also have a qualifying child under the age of 18 at the end of 2021 with a valid Social Security Number.
- Finally, you must make less than certain income limits.
- If you meet these qualifications, the IRS will start sending out the child tax credit 2021 payments automatically.
- The first half of the credit will be sent out over the next several months.
- You can then claim the second half when filing taxes for 2021.
