I have 2 children ages 13 and 11 Im on social security disability which means i dont file taxes. My childrens father has claimed them always. Last year 2019 i worked a little so I filed a tax return as single without children. 2020 I filed taxes as head of household with 2 dependents (my children). They were rejected due to dad claiming them first even tho i told him that I was. Mailed back my return havent heard anything yet. Guess my question being is should i fill out a non filer account to recieve child credit or just wait till i hear something about my taxes?

Since you have already filed any additional filing would likely be rejected. Wait until your mailed return is processed which unfortunately will take many months.

DO NOT use the Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool. You are not a non-filer. You filed a tax return.

If your only income in 2021 is the disability then you are not eligible for the CTC at all ... not in advance and not on the 2021 return.

Im receiving un employment from last employer . Since im allowed to work with restrictions which I do so I can claim my children. Doesnt seem fair for a "parent" that doesnt not support anything to the children should be able to receive any benefits .I read that it can take up to a year for the matter to be corrected?
