If you are filing as Head of Household this year, enter the amount of Advance Child Tax Credit that you received from your IRS 6419 letter.
Your ex-spouse will report the amount of ACTC from their letter on their 2021 return.
If they are not claiming your children on their return, they may need to pay back part of their ACTC. However, they may qualify for Repayment Protection and not need to repay any of their ACTC.
You won’t qualify for any repayment protection if your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is at or above the following amount based on the filing status on your 2021 tax return:
- $120,000 if you are married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower;
- $100,000 if you are filing as head of household; and
- $80,000 if you are a single filer or are married and filing a separate return.
For information on the definition of modified AGI, see Topic C: Calculation of the 2021 Child Tax Credit.
