Hi, in January I filed a 2019 tax return and claimed my Younger brother who I support as a dependent. Since then I recieved my tax witholdings but my eitc or eic and child tax credit has been in review with the the irs and I haven't heard back from them,even with sending in the required documentation for over 60 days. (I have claimed him since 2017 Head of hh)
Will I not be eligible to recieve the extra 500 for him or even the $1200 at all since my 2019 taxes are being reviewed? Thank you
You should still get the $1,200. However, you only get the extra $500 if you have a child under 17, following the same definition as the CTC. Since he's your brother and NOT your child, you probably don't qualify for the CTC or the $500.
