Do you mean that you have filed your 2021 Federal 1040 tax return, it has been accepted by the IRS and you are waiting for a refund?
If so, many taxpayers have experienced processing delays resulting from questions about the Child Tax Credit, Advance payments for CTC and the third stimulus payment.
I am still unclear about the status of your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return.
If two taxpayers claim the same dependent and/or qualifying child, the IRS will intervene and determine which parent, if either parent, can claim the child.
The first parent is allowed to electronically file their tax return with the dependent / qualifying child. The second parent must paper-file their tax return with the same dependent / qualifying child.
During this review process, you will be allowed to submit evidence that the child was living with you and that you qualify for the dependent / qualifying child. The process can be very time-consuming and frustrating.
