Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Since the Child Tax Credit is fully refundable this year and the Advance Child Tax Credit payments were based on the 2020 filed tax returns and dependents listed there.  Some taxpayers do not claim a dependent every year.  The IRS requires the information about any Advance payments that may have been received to match up the 2021 details to ensure the benefit of the credit is where it needs to be.

 

If you did not receive any Advance Child Tax Payments enter 0 and continue through.
