You are filing a tax return separate from the ex-spouse so you report only the advance payments reported on your IRS Letter 6419.
Report the Advance Child Tax Credit payments received under Federal / Deductions & Credits / Your tax breaks / Advance payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits at the screen Tell us about any Advance Child Tax Credit payments.
- In box 1 report the amount of the advance payments.
- In box 2 report the number of qualifying children listed on your IRS Letter 6419, not the number of qualifying children you are reporting on your 2021 Federal 1040 tax return.
The ex-spouse's tax return will report the amount of Advance Child Tax Credit payments received and reported on that ex-spouse's IRS Letter 6419. Schedule 8812 on the ex-spouse's tax return will determine whether the ex-spouse will be required to pay back some, all or none of the advance payments.
