Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes if you are claiming the children you can get the full CTC.    Even if she lied and got the advance payments----she might have to repay them, but that will not be your problem.    Your CTC will show up on line 28 of your Form 1040.

 

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.

 

Make sure you go through the questions in Federal Review for the EIP payments.   If you did not get the EIP payments for claiming your children you can also get those payments.   Use the recovery rebate credit.  It will show up on line 30.
