After you file

As stated------there will be a portal where you might be able to enter updated information for your children but that portal is not yet working.   And...again...you will eventually get all of the child tax credit --- even if you have to wait for some of it on your 2021 tax return.    You will receive the correct amount based on the ages of your children at the end of 2021---it is just a matter of WHEN you will receive it.

 

TurboTax has no control over this.   This is all being handled by the IRS.  Please be patient while they sort out a brand new system that had to be thrown together when Congress changed the tax laws in the middle of the tax season.  There are going to be bugs, glitches and mistakes --- they will sort it out.
