We are in the same situation. We filed an amended return on 4/29 (prompted by TurboTax) and our eligibility for the child tax credit is currently pending. I have no proof that the amended return is holding up our child tax credit eligibility, but that is my guess. If the IRS processes our amended return within the 16 weeks they promise, maybe we will get the our eligibility approved in time for August payments, but Im not holding my breath. What ever child tax credit we miss out on in 2021 will be added to the child tax credit amount when we file 2021 taxes in the Spring of 2022.
