Will my amended return affect my advance child tax credit?

Yes it will.    If you have an amended return pending in the system they will not send out the monthly advance child tax credit payments.    If you do not get the advance payments you will still be able to get the CTC on your 2021 tax return.

After my amended return gets cleared and processed will I be able to get the advance child tax credit?

@truse3213 We cannot answer you.   The advance CTC payments is such a new program that the IRS has not made it all clear yet.   It takes at least six months for them to process an amended return, so do not expect quick results from amending.  If you do not get the advance payments then you will be able to get the CTC when you file your 2021 tax return.
