Hi Critter. I have a question if you don't mind. My son's father and I have court order of sharing child dependent for alternate tax seasons. He has even years and I have odd years. The advance child tax credit payments are for 2021, correct? Then, this will have me qualified to claim the credit, correct? How can I claimed the credit if the noncustodial parent has filed his 2020 tax return claiming the child as a dependent (even year)? I had to file 2020 as single, so when the IRS looks at my last tax return, I am considered disqualified from claiming the credit. Is there a way for me to update my information to get the credit, if the credit is for 2021, then it is an odd year, and it is my turn to claim the child.
