There is no new Child Tax Credit.  The CTC for tax year 2020 is $2,000

 

If and when the legislation is ever passed, approved and signed into law the US Treasury Department and the IRS will have to write the rules and regulations for the additional credit.  The IRS will then have to give guidance on the IRS website for how the credit will be distributed, if it is even for tax year 2020.
