@xmasbaby0 @TomD8 Yes, thank you both for clarifying. I am referring to the Child Tax Credit.
I completed the IRS interactive assistant and determined that my child is a qualifying person for Child Tax Credit purposes. However, I don't think I received that credit on my 2021 Federal return.
I received a letter in the mail from the IRS this week that we "may be eligible to claim credits and a refund for the Recovery Rebate Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Earned Income Tax credit." When I looked at my 2021 return, it appears that Line 33 (Total Payments) amount adds up to exactly the amount that was withheld from our salaries in 2021, and does not appear to include the $3,600 Child Tax Credit, even though our child is a qualifying person and our household meets all the requirements of which I am aware. Additionally, the amount of our refund this year is exactly the amount withheld from our salaries less the amount of Federal income tax owed.
On what line of our 1040 would that credit appear, if it was calculated in on our TurboTax return? Is there somewhere else I should be looking to determine whether or not we actually received the Child Tax Credit in our 2021 return?
Thank you so much for your help!!
