Reminder about Federal Advance Child Tax Credit Payments

caution sign The information on this page may be outdated as it was published 2 years ago.

It's not too late for low-income families to sign up for advance Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments.

The IRS urged any family not already receiving payments who normally isn't required to file a tax return to explore the tools available through IRS.gov. These tools can help determine eligibility for the advance CTC or help them file a simplified tax return to sign up for these payments as well as Economic Impact Payments and the Recovery Rebate Credit.

The deadline to sign up is November 15, 2021. People can get these benefits, even if they don't work and even if they receive no income.

Families who sign up will normally receive half of their total Child Tax Credit on December 15. This means a payment of up to $1,800 for each child, under 6, and up to $1,500 for each child, ages 6 to 17.
