Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Please provide us with the some details about your TurboTax experience here so someone can help. Thanks!
Most eligible families received about one-half of their tax credit through advance payments, and will claim the remaining half of their credit when they file this year's return.
Be sure to confirm any amount you may have received by referring to your (and/or your spouse’s) IRS letter 6419. You can also go to the IRS to verify any amount you may have received.
Once you have your amount ready, follow these steps to enter your advance payments. If you didn’t receive any, answer No on the Tell us about any advance Child Tax Credit payments screen when you go through the Child Tax Credit section.
WARNING - If you do not enter the correct amount from your 6419 letters, please be advised that your tax return processing will be delayed. The IRS will automatically pull those mismatched returns out for manual processing. Do not e-file or mail your tax return until you are sure you have reported the correct amounts your (and spouse if applicable) of advance child tax credit payments.
