Federal>Deductions and Credits>You and Your Family>Child Tax Credit

 

The IRS is sending out letter 6419 to you.  It will show the amount of advance child tax credit that you received during 2021.  Enter the information from that letter carefully.   

 

The remaining amount of CTC that you can receive will show up on line 28 of your 2021 Form 1040.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

 

 

NOTE:   The CTC is indeed a “credit” that can be applied toward any tax liability that you would otherwise have to pay as “tax due”  to the IRS.

Schedule 8812 (Child Tax Credit) is generated if a child that's being claimed under the Child Tax Credit has an ITIN instead of a Social Security number.

TurboTax will automatically add it to your return. Just enter your dependent information and complete your return as you would normally. When you're done, we'll fill out the schedule and file it along with your return. Schedule 8812
